A foreign applicant for Long Term Resident status may be qualified
if the Minster of Justice determines such applicant to have a special
reason for living in Japan.
The following are typical circumstances of a foreign citizen which
may be deemed legitimate to qualify the foreign citizen for Long
Term Resident status.
・A foreign citizen divorced or was bereaved of his/her Japanese
spouse, obtained the parental authority of their child/children,
and is raising, and will continue to raise, such child/children
in Japan.
・A foreign citizen who divorced or was bereaved of his/her Japanese
spouse and does not have their child/children has lost the way to
make a livelihood in his/her home country as a result of long-term
residence in Japan, and thus the residence of such foreign citizen
is considered fixed in Japan.
・A foreign citizen with “Spouse or Child of Japanese National”
status of residence has a biological child in his/her home country
who was born in his/her prior marriage and is under legal age, single
and supported by the parent(s). Then such foreign citizen intends
to invite such child to Japan to live with him/her. (In this case,
the applicant of Long Term Resident status is the child.)
