Hello!
I’m a PR and my partner has a 3-year residence status. He has been living in Japan for about 8 years, and we are also in the process of preparing for his permanent residency application.
I am currently pregnant with our first child and I’m trying to understand the visa status for our baby once he is born. From what I’ve read, our son may be eligible for Permanent Residency right away, but I’m quite confused about the timeline and required steps.
My understanding is that we need to complete all the necessary procedures in 30 days after birth in order to apply. Does this mean we first need to register the birth at city hall and obtain the jūminhyō (which seems straightforward), and then also secure a passport for the baby?
My husband is Italian and I am Filipino, so I’m unsure how long the passport process will take, Based on my past experience, this could take several weeks. Would it be possible to still apply if for example the passport arrives past the 30th day?
I would really appreciate hearing about others experiences. I am researching online as well, but I’d like to get a clearer idea of the actual steps and how to go with it. 😅
Thank youuu.
