The simple answer is to look at your institution. If the institution is a university or junior college (i.e. if it also grants associates degrees or higher in other fields), then you would be eligible to apply for a Dependent Visa. If you are studying Japanese at an advanced vocational school or at a dedicated Japanese language school, you would not be eligible to apply for a Dependent Visa.\n<h6>OTHER RESIDENCE STATUSES<\/h6>\nSomeone who is living in Japan as a Dependent cannot have their own Dependent.\nThere are a few other statuses, such as Trainee and Designated Activities, that are not eligible to bring family members.\n<br>\nOther statues, such as Spouse of Japanese National, Permanent Resident, Diplomat, etc., have other methods to bring their family members to Japan and will not need the Dependent Visa process.\n\n\n<h6>CAN I BRING MY FAMILY WITH ME TO JAPAN AT THE SAME TIME? <\/h6>\n\nIt depends on your employer.\n<br>\n\nCertain types of companies in Japan have special authorization to accelerate their Certificate of Eligibility application process for foreign employees and simultaneously apply for Dependent Visas for their spouses. Those companies are able to get Certificates of Eligibility for both the employee and the dependents within about 2 weeks from application.\n<br>\nIf you are coming to Japan as a student, researcher, or working for anything less than a large enterprise, then you will not be able to bring your dependents to Japan at the same time as you. After you arrive in Japan, you will have to apply for a Certificate of Eligibility for your dependents so they can join you Japan. That application process can take up to three months. Skip down to the instructions below.\n<br>\n<h6>WHAT COMPANIES CAN APPLY SIMULTANEOUSLY FOR DEPENDENT VISAS? <\/h6>\nAccording to the Ministry of Justice, companies designated as Category 1 or Category 2 are eligible for the accelerated Certificate of Eligibility application process, provided that they are paying you enough to support your family members as well.\nCategory 1 and 2 companies must be \u201cof a certain size\u201d and make their present operating situation clear through public documentation. Specific examples include:\n\nCategory 1\n\u2022\tCompanies listed on the Japanese stock exchange\n\u2022\tMutual insurance companies\n\u2022\tNational or regional public organizations (\u516c\u5171\u56e3\u4f53 kokyo dantai)\n\u2022\tIndependent administrative institutions (\u72ec\u7acb\u884c\u653f\u6cd5\u4eba dokuritsu gyosei hojin), Special public corporations (\u7279\u6b8a\u6cd5\u4eba tokushu hojin), Specially-authorized corporations (\u7279\u5225\u8a8d\u53ef\u6cd5\u4eba tokubetsu ninka hojin), Public organization-authorized public service organizations (\u516c\u76ca\u6cd5\u4eba koeki hojin)\n\u2022\tTax-exempt public benefit corporations listed in Table 1 of the tax exempt corporations list.\n\nCategory 2: Individuals or organizations that paid over 15,000,000 yen in income tax during the previous fiscal year.\nIf you are to be employed in Japan and want to know if your company can apply simultaneously for your dependents\u2019 certificates of eligibility, the best thing to do is ask them directly!\n<br>\n<strong>APPLYING FOR A DEPENDENT VISA YOURSELF<\/strong>\n<br>\nIf you have to bring your family to Japan yourself, you will need to start with applying for their Certificate of Eligibility. Approval can take up to three months, so get started as soon as you can after you arrive in Japan.\n<br>\nAs usual with the Immigration Bureau, the information available in English is vague. The requirements below are translated from the Japanese webpage:\n<br>\n<strong>DEPENDENT CERTIFICATE OF ELIGIBILITY REQUIRED DOCUMENTS<\/strong>\n<br>\n1.\tCompleted application form. You can download the form from the Immigration Bureau website.\n<br>\n2.\tOne ID-quality photo: 30mm wide by 40mm high, showing the applicant (your dependent) from the chest up, facing forward, with no hats or background.\nWrite the applicant\u2019s name on the back and attach it to the application form in the designated spot\n<br>\n3.\tOne self-addressed reply envelope with 392 yen in stamps attached.\n<br>\n4.\tOne of the following documents to prove your relationship:\n<br>\na.\tFamily Register\n<br>\nb.\tCertificate of acceptance of registration of marriage\n<br>\nc.\tMarriage certificate\n<br>\nd.\tBirth certificate\n<br>\ne.\tAny other document that can be accepted as meeting the requirements of the previous items\n<br>\nNote: Any documents in a foreign language must have a Japanese translation attached.\n<br>\n5.\tCopy of the supporter\u2019s (you) Residence Card or passport. (Submit copy of the Residence Card if you have it!)\n<br>\n6.\tProof of employment\/activity and financial resources.\n<br>\n6.1.\tIf the supporter is engaged in business management or income-generating activities:\n<br>\n(a) 1 copy of certificate of employment or business license (must show supporter\u2019s occupation); and\n<br>\n(b) Certificate of Residence Tax amount and payment showing one full year of tax payment. (Acquired from the City Hall where you resided as of Jan 1.\n*If you have not been in Japan long enough to acquire a Certificate of Residence Tax showing a full year of tax, consult with the Immigration Bureau. A certificate of employment with salary may be sufficient.\n<br>\n6.2.\tIf supporter is not employed or earning income through operating a business:\n(a) A bank account balance statement in the supporter\u2019s name or scholarship award statement showing the amount of award and period of payment.\n(b) Documents equivalent in nature to (a) that show proof of sufficient finances for the applicant to be able to meet their expenses while in Japan.\n<br>\n7.\tProof of identity, in case of application by proxy.\n<br>\nIt is acceptable to fill out the application form in English, but all documents submitted as evidence must be in Japanese or be accompanied by a translation.\n<br>\n<strong>FINANCIAL RESOURCES FOR YOUR DEPENDENT<\/strong>\n<br>\nAs a general rule, 80,000 yen per month is considered sufficient resources for one person. Since you will be living with your dependent, you don\u2019t need to double that for each person, but count on adding at least 40,000 for a spouse and a little less than that for each child (depending on their age).\n<br>\nAs an example, I know of MEXT scholars who were successful in bringing a spouse and two children to Japan with a total income of 145,000 yen.\n<br>\nThe Dependent Residence Status does not allow your spouse or children to work in Japan, so you need to plan to support them from your income. Your spouse will be eligible to apply for a work permit (called \u201cPermission to Engage in Activities Other than that Permitted Under the Status of Residence Previously Granted\u201d), but they will be limited to working no more than 28 hours per week. This is not going to be enough for your spouse to support him\/herself.\n<br>\nA dependent is able to search for a full time job and use that to apply to change to a working residence status. However, finding a full-time job in Japan is quite difficult without some level of fluency in the language.\n<br>\nAll of that will come later, once your spouse is in Japan. But it\u2019s a good idea to have a clear understanding of your financial situation in advance.\n<br>\n<strong>APPLYING FOR THE JAPANESE DEPENDENT VISA<\/strong>\n<br>\nOnce you have your spouse and\/or child\u2019s Certificate of Eligibility, you will need to send it to them so they can apply for their visa in your home country.\n<br>\nI recommend making a photocopy first and sending the Certificate by a reliable courier service. Your spouse\/child will need the original Certificate of Eligibility to apply for the visa. The photocopy can help you apply for reissuance of the Certificate if it gets lost in the mail.\n<br>\nVisa requirements vary by country, so be sure to check the website of the Japanese Embassy in your country!\n<br>\n\n<strong>MAKING TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS<\/strong>\n<br>\nOnce you have the Certificate of Eligibility, your spouse\u2019s dependent visa is all but guaranteed, so it\u2019s safe to start making his or her travel arrangements to Japan.\n<br>\nYour spouse\/child must arrive in Japan within 3 months of the date of issue on the Certificate of Eligibility (regardless of whether the visa has a later expiration date or not).\n<br>\nCongratulations! Your family will be together in Japan soon!<\/p>\n<h3><p><\/p><\/h3>\n<p><h6>1) Inviting Family Members to Japan<\/h6>\n<strong>1. When family stay in Japan to visit relatives for less than 3 months<\/strong>\n<br>\nFamily members can visit Japan on a Temporary Visitor Visa if they will stay in Japan for less than 3 months. If their passport is issued by a  country or region that has a Visa Exemption arrangement with Japan, they do not have to obtain a  temporary visitor visa beforehand.\n<br>\nThe Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan \u2013 Guide to Japanese Visas:\n<br>\nhttps:\/\/www.mofa.go.jp\/j_info\/visit\/visa\/index.html\n<br>\n<strong>2. When family stay in Japan for more than 3 months<\/strong>\n<br>\nIf a foreign student studying in Japan under the residence status of \u201cStudent\u201d wishes to bring family members to Japan to live with them, a visa (Dependent visa) must be acquired for each family member. Only the spouse and child(ren) of the student are eligible for the Dependent Visa.\n<br>\n<strong>There are two ways to acquire this visa: <\/strong>\n<br>\nOne way is to go directly to an overseas Japanese embassy or consulate and apply for a visa. (It may take 2-3 months.)\n<br>\nThe second way is to apply for a Certificate of Eligibility (Dependent) at an Immigration Bureau in Japan on behalf of the family member(s). The Certificate of Eligibility is usually issued about 1 month after the application form is submitted. Send the Certificate(s) of Eligibility to your family member(s). Each family member should bring their Certificate of Eligibility along with other necessary documents to the Japanese Embassy\/Consulate in their country to apply for the \u201cDependent\u201d visa.\n<br>\n\u203bIf you wish to invite your family to stay with you, it is advised that you do this once you have become accustomed to life in Japan and have found a place for them to live.\n<br>\n\u203bIf your child (or children) will attend nursery school or elementary school, etc., please research schools in the area prior to inviting your family member(s).\n<br>\n<strong>How to apply<\/strong>\n<br>\nDocuments to be submitted:\n<br>\n\u2022\t Application form for the Certificate of Eligibility for Dependent status (R \u201cDependent\u201d)\n<br>\n\u3000(Form available from the Immigration Bureau)\n<br>\nhttp:\/\/www.immi-moj.go.jp\/english\/tetuduki\/kanri\/shyorui\/01-format.html\n<br>\n\u2022\t A copy of each family member\u2019s passport\n<br>\n\u2022\t An ID photo (4 x 3cm, taken within 3 months before application) for each family member\n<br>\n\u30fbDocuments certifying the personal relationship between the international student and each family member, such as a copy of marriage certificate or birth certificate.\n<br>\n\u30fbDocuments regarding the Supporter (International student)\n<br>\n1.\tA copy of the Supporter\u2019s passport\n<br>\n2.\tA copy of Supporter\u2019s residence card (front and back)\n<br>\n3.\tOne of the Supporter\u2019s certificates issued by Kobe University, such as the\nstudent registration certificate\n<br>\n\u203bDegree-seeking students can receive these from the automatic certificate issuing machine. \n<br>\nNon-degree students need to ask the Academic Affairs Section of their faculty\/graduate school.\n<br>\n\u203bIf the supporter has failed to graduate within the expected period and must remain in Japan for this reason, a statement explaining the reason for failing to meet the graduation requirements must be submitted.\n<br><\/p>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">4.
