Spouse Visa Requirements for Over Staying Filipinos in Japan

January 30, 2009

If youre an overstay in Japan and just got married to a Japanese national what’s the next step? Not knowing what to do and where to go really sucks when you have something important like this to fix, so to save those people from the trouble of prolonging their illegal stay even after they get married to a national here are the papers gathered directly from the Bureau of Immigration Japan.

Please be aware that the requirements may differ depending on your case/situation. They may ask few added documents and let you send it by mail or fax. Make sure that the address you have on your documents is the same address from the place you are presently living in, otherwise they’d just send you home and tell you to make the changes first and come again. This will include address in drivers license, bank, insurance, alien card registration, et cetera.

These are the requirements and the papers to fill up when surrendering to the Bureau Of Immigration Japan. It is written in Japanese so please let your partners read it.

After submitting these you will be interviewed by an immigration officer.The immigration officer will explain to you that since you’re an overstay you have to be deported back to your own country, but since you came on your own will you will be given a choice.

1. Surrender willingly and go back to the Philippines, you will be given a 1 year penalty there before you can re-enter japan when your husband invites you.

2. Wait for your visa here in Japan while they investigate your case, this has no guarantee of visa approval. In case you are denied of a visa you will be deported back in the Philippines with a 5year penalty before you can re-enter japan. Waiting time may take 3 months, 6 months or years.

Make sure you know what you write in this papers because they will be asking you things written there and sometimes simple things like, what you ate last night, the night before, what your house looks like, what your appliances are and what brand it is, what toothpaste do you use etc. Simple questions to really check if you are really living in the same roof. Same questions will be asked to your partners and see if it matches.

And last, TELL THE TRUTH! Do not attempt to lie to these people to avoid further complications.

I'm kind of a laid-back person and I dont really believe in getting things the hard way. I mean if there's a better or easier way to get things done, why go through all the hoops?

Timing is everything, I don't rush things if the timing's not right, but when I have all the means to get something done I do it right away and finish it as soon as possible.

I'm not a morning person. I find my self hyper at night and drag myself to do stuff in the days. I like to do things in my own time; I hate pressure.

I've been working in japan since 2001, My japanese was good back then; Now that I've been living here since 2004 unemployed, I've been isolated with everybody else I know, beacuse of that I speak Japanese like a retarded 3 year old.

I find it hard to trust people, that's why I end up doing things all by myself and it is really exhausting. I hate this about myself.

Good Morning?

I woke early one morning The earth lay cool and still When suddenly a tiny bird Perched on my window sill, He sang a song so lovely So carefree and so gay, That slowly all my troubles Began to slip away He sang of far off places Of laughter and of fun, It seemed his very thrilling, brought up the morning sun. I stirred beneath the covers Crept slowly out of bed, Then gently shut the window And crushed his fucking head....I'm not a morning person.
