I became an American citizen but want to return to Japan to live in my old age ( Japanese visa ).
Many people who moved to the U.S. when they were young and later became naturalized U.S. citizens and acquired U.S. citizenship, but want to return to Japan to live in Japan when they think about their old age, are often interested in doing so. In fact, our office has received such consultations.
One of the motivations is that they want to return to their hometown where they were born and raised, but it also seems that the medical and nursing care services are cheaper and more generous in Japan.
Also, just as foreign residents in Japan are concerned about whether they will be able to speak Japanese or only their native language when they get old and develop dementia, some may be concerned about communication when they develop dementia in the U.S. You may be.
Here we will explain the procedures for returning to Japan in old age for those who have acquired American citizenship.
Visa to return to Japan ( Resident status )
When you become an American citizen, you lose your Japanese citizenship. You may not have reported to Japan yet, but under Japanese law, you no longer have Japanese citizenship.
You can return to live in Japan at any time if you have Japanese citizenship, but since you are now an American citizen, you will need a visa ( to come back to Japan ) and a status of residence
If you were born as the biological child of a Japanese national, you can apply for "Spouse or Child of Japanese National" status. Sometimes you may be told that you are not a "spouse", but the "etc." of "spouse, etc." includes the biological child of a Japanese national.
Flow of Visa Application
When you obtain the status of residence as a spouse of Japanese national, you must apply for a certificate of eligibility.
You can apply for this application by yourself or by having a relative in Japan act as your representative. If you are applying in person, you must be in Japan at the time of application, so you must come to Japan to apply and then return to the U.S.
If your application is approved, a Certificate of Eligibility will be issued. Now, with the Certificate of Eligibility, you can apply for a visa at the Japanese Consulate in the U.S. and enter Japan.
Requirements for visa approval
To apply for a visa, you must have been born as a child of a Japanese national. A person born as a child of Japanese national is "if either the father or mother has Japanese nationality at the time of birth". This is proven by the family register or birth certificate at the time of birth.
You must also have enough income or assets to live in Japan. If you are receiving a pension in the U.S., a document that shows the amount of the pension or a document that proves your assets such as a certificate of bank balance should be submitted at the time of application.
In addition to this, a letter of reference from a relative in Japan is also required.
