Wife and I decided to move go her home country because we will never be able to purchase a house here and live comfortably at the same time. We are lucky that we both work computer related jobs and we will keep our jobs moving to full time remote.
We were finally done with all the paperwork gathering for spousal visa, and then when we tried to submit the documents at the consulate the worker informed us that we must move to Japan within 3 months of it being issued. He also noted that it would only take 1 week for visa to be issued.
No where online, no where in the forms of documents did it say that we needed to move go Japan within 3 months and this came as a shock for us.
Still planning to see if we will move earlier than we planned but just wanted to know if this is common? Seems to the worker this is a common thing.
