Bringing your Family to Japan（Long-term Stay）
| In order to invite your spouse or children to Japan to live together for more than 90 days, it is advisable for you to apply for their Certificate of Eligibility in Kagoshima City.
Application for a Certificate of Eligibility Your family members can obtain visas to enter Japan directly from the Japanese embassy in your home country, but if you obtain a Certificate of Eligibility from the Kagosima Regional Immigration Office and your family members take it to the Japanese embassy in their home country to apply, the time until the visa is issued will be shorter and the process will be smoother.
