Hi everyone,
My wife just got a visa to work for a company in Japan. Neither of us are Japanese citizens, however, my mother is a former Japanese citizen who has since forfeited her citizenship in exchange for US citizenship. I am a US citizen by birth, and my mother was still a Japanese citizen at the time of my birth.
My understanding is that, through my spouse, I am only eligible for a dependent visa where I can work up to 28 hours/week with special permission, so this is not ideal.
The other option I found was the Child of Japanese National Visa, which grants full working permission.
I wanted to ask if my understanding of the above is correct, and where I could find more information about how to apply for the Child of Japanese National visa – (Japanese material is fine)? Also, if anyone has additional ideas for options that I have, please let me know.
Thank you so much for your time.
