Hi everyone!
It's my first time here and I have a bunch of questions.
First some background: I'm getting married this month to my partner who has a Highly skilled professional visa in Japan. I'm currently on a student visa in Japan.
As I'm on a student visa and currently have a residence card, do I need to apply for a Coe? This has been stated as a requirement in many resources and I'm confused.
How long does it take to process the spousal visa, I've read that it takes 5-10 days. Is that still correct ? Is that applicable if I have the residence card but no COE?
We're going to get married in Denmark, will this affect the visa proceedings in any way?
My residence card is expiring in October (2 months from now) will that stop me from entering Japan? (I'm currently in Europe.) Will it affect the spousal application at all?
I read on reddit that the length of your marriage is also considered. Will our marriage just being finalized affect my spousal visa application?
My spouse states that as I need to submit a change of residence application. I won't need a Coe and things will be alright, but as I'm a worry wart I just wanted to double check with you experienced people!
Thank you so much for your time and advice.
