[Dependent Visa Approval Case] Inviting Spouse from Overseas While Holding a Work Visa (Nagoya)

Case Overview｜Work Visa Holder Invites Spouse to Japan on a Dependent Visa

In this case, a client residing in Japan on a work visa consulted us about inviting their spouse, who was living overseas, to Japan on a dependent visa. The client was based in Nagoya, so the application was filed under the jurisdiction of the Nagoya Regional Immigration Services Bureau. We organized the required documents and drafted explanation letters, structured the reasons for the application, and prepared additional supporting documents tailored to the client’s situation, which led to a successful approval.

• Status of Residence: Work visa (supporting spouse already residing in Japan)
• Consultation: Dependent visa for spouse (invitation from overseas)
• Main Concerns: Application handled by Nagoya Immigration and fear of missing or insufficient documents
• Our Support: Fact-finding → Document checklist → Drafting and strengthening explanations → Application support

	Customer (from testimonial / Nagoya Immigration case)
	Request: Dependent visa (inviting spouse from overseas / dependent of a work visa holder)

I live in Nagoya and made my request from there. Although ACROSEED is a Tokyo-based office, I learned that they also handle applications under the jurisdiction of the Nagoya Regional Immigration Services Bureau, so I decided to ask for their help.

First of all, I would like to express my sincere thanks. Thank you very much. I am truly grateful that I was able to meet a firm like ACROSEED and to have such wonderful staff members in charge of my case. I am thankful beyond what words can express.

When preparing the application documents, there were many things I did not fully understand. However, each time I had a question, they kindly explained everything, advising me clearly on which documents were required and which points should be reinforced. Thanks to their guidance, I was able to proceed step by step with confidence.

When I heard that my family’s visa had been approved sooner than I had expected, I felt genuinely happy and relieved. Thank you so much. I am very glad that I decided to work with ACROSEED.

Who This Case Will Help

In the examination of dependent visas, immigration places particular emphasis on the supporter’s income and employment situation (in this case, the work visa holder), the clarity of the invitation reasons, and the consistency between the supporting documents and the actual circumstances. Even if the application is handled by a local immigration office such as Nagoya, it is often possible to proceed smoothly by organizing the situation and documents in advance.

• Those residing in Japan on a work visa who wish to invite their spouse from overseas
• Those planning to apply at a local immigration office (Nagoya, Osaka, Fukuoka, etc.)
• Those who are unsure about how to prepare documents and explanations and would like professional support
• Those who wish to aim for a smooth and early result by consulting from the preparation stage
