Spouse Visa Requirements for Over Staying Filipinos in Japan
January 30, 2009If 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.
or
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 have no idea what papers you need po, pero from what i heard the best way to know is to call the immigration and ask them, or make time to visit them and ask for the requirements para mapalitan nila ng spouse visa ang tourist visa mo po.
If you got married in japan baka hingin po nila ang ROM and birthcertificate po ninyo kosekitohon etc…
Call or Go to your nearest immigration office and dun nalang po mag ask kasi po I just posted this entry based from my own experience when I was still applying for my visa:D

sometimes pagmatagal sla bago tumawag ulit there maybe a chance na mag-check sila sa bahay mismo and check your house if you and your wife are really together…
sa case ko kase it only took 3 months before i rcvd a call from them, they just asked a few questions then told me when to come back, that was the time i rcvd my visa =)
