Hi, my brother moved to Japan with his wife under a dependent visa (his wife is employed by a Japanese company on a work visa). After three months of staying in Japan, he suddenly returned to Singapore and got a job. He said he would like to build up more financial reserves for about 12 months before committing to staying in Japan long-term.
My question is: Is he violating any rules of the dependent visa and get the visa being cancelled by the authorities? I am unsure whether his or his wife’s visa status could be affected, and his wife is considering to apply for the Japan permanent residentship in the future.
I have read that the ability for dependent visa holders to work in Japan is highly regulated, with certain limitations (such as a maximum of 28 hours per week and the need to submit approval requests to the authorities), but seems it is within the boundaries of Japan.
Thanks in advance for any information.
