Average Visa/Status of Residence Processing times based on MOJ Data

Hey everyone — Japan's immigration service publishes average processing times for residence status (aka "visa") applications, but the data is buried in a hard-to-read PDF. I built a site to make it easier to browse:

Hope it helps anyone wondering how long the wait might be, on average!

  1. Spouse Visa renewal seems incredibly low to me-I applied in January and am still waiting, and have been told by our lawyer there are no issues, just slow.

  2. Thanks for this man!

    They still do not have the March data unfortunately and that is what I am waiting for. My wife’s dependant visa is well over 100 days already (applied on December 18th 2024) and still waiting.

    Does anyone know if the days are only working days or calendar days?
