My mother was a Japanese national when I was born in the states and we are considering the nikkei visa for moving our family to Japan. Assuming I'm approved, I understand there are no work restrictions on me, but what about my spouse? I'm reading different things but mostly that there aren't any limitations, but everything seems to assume he'd be employed by a Japanese company. Would it be possible to keep his US employment while we are there?
Terms seem to be used interchangeably so I'm getting really confused about what a nikkei individual is vs. a nikkei visa holder. Everything is seeming too good to be true right now because I didn't realize this visa existed until today and it seems like a very viable option for us. Our children are in Japanese immersion school and everything…it would be lovely to just move.
Any experience with the nikkei visa, spouses, and kids, I am all ears! Thank you!
