Hello everyone,
I have a question regarding the visa issuance process at a Japanese embassy after receiving approval for a Business Manager visa and a Spouse visa, along with the Certificate of Eligibility (CoE).
Is it possible to have the visa issued in a country other than my country of citizenship or legal residence?
I have been living abroad for the past six years. Although I own property in this country, my legal status here is only that of a tourist.
Would I be able to apply at the local Japanese embassy and receive the visa here, so that I can travel directly to Japan afterward? Or would I be required to return to my home country and have the visa issued there instead?
Has anyone here had personal experience with this situation?
If it is possible to apply in a third country, what special documentation is typically required to do so?
If that’s not possible, do my wife and I have to go to the embassy in our home country on the same day, or can we each pick up our visas on different days or weeks?
Thank you in advance for any insights.
