Me and my wife are planning to move to Japan for 1 year on a sabbatical (no work). We found some information online regarding this VISA but we are looking for insights from those whom might have applied to it in the past.
As I understand to qualify for this visa one needs:
-Medical insurance that covers death, injuries etc during the entire period of travel
-Proof of savings of at least 30 million Yen for the past 6 months.
-I also found that this visa only applies to foreign nationals part of the Visa waiver countries to Japan.
I am a Portuguese national and therefore part of visa waiver country. My spouse is Ukrainian, which is not part of it currently.
Does anyone know if the nationality of the spouse also needs to be from a visa waiver country? Or would this be irrelevant in this case as I would be the main applicant?
Note: First Reddit post, appreciate all responses in advance. I have also emailed the consulate and waiting further response on some doubts.
