Dependent Visa Case Studies & Approval Results (Reviews)
Real Examples of Dependent Visa Approvals
About Dependent Visa Case Listings
A dependent visa is examined based on: proof of family relationship with the home country and financial stability to support the family in Japan.
When inviting a spouse or children to Japan, factors such as income level, job details, and residence stability, as well as how marital/parental relationships are explained and proven, strongly influence approval.
On this page, we introduce actual customer cases including: family invitations from work visa and student visa holders, reapplications after refusal, and complex financial requirement cases. Please find a case that matches your situation.
1. Cases for Work Visa Holders
Work visa holders inviting spouses and children from overseas. When there are multiple dependents, planning income expectations, lifestyle explanation, and documentation strategy are key approval points.
