Hello nice people of Japanlife, I am an Indian living in Japan for over an year now and I have an Engineering Visa. I wanted to invite my parents and sibling from India for a month. The purpose is little tourism and spending time with my parents and sibling.
I’m a little bit lost at the process and forms needed for this. If anyone has done in past, some guidance would be appreciated.
I went through the mofa website: [https://www.mofa.go.jp/j\_info/visit/visa/index.html#section4](https://www.mofa.go.jp/j_info/visit/visa/index.html#section4)
and there’s a few forms like letter of guarantee, letter of invitation etc. I’m not sure which all forms should I fill and send to my parents so they can apply via VFS global.
I know that I need to fill these forms:
* Letter of invitation
* Letter of guarantee
* Travel itinerary
Would these be enough? Since I am an inviter, I will need to include these as well.
* My residence card’s copy
* My Certificate of Income (Annual earnings)
* My passport’s copy (old + new)
Since this will be my first time paying the tax, I don’t have any tax documents to attach.
Also, my parents can pay the fight tickets and sustain here for more than a month on their own money . I’m planning on adding my letter of invitation so that there’s better chances of VISA acceptance.
And what kind of document can my parents provide that they will return to India after a month? I’m sure that as a tourist, you need to provide such evidence. We do own a house, so maybe electricity bill in my father’s name to indicate that we have a property and they would return back home?
