Tools: Any use for SAE?
I am trying to decide which and how many tools I should pack and move with us to Japan.
Re: wrenches and sockets, I am guessing I might as well leave behind my SAE tools and only bring metric? Would like to lighten the load but I don't want to be kicking myself later.

Re: Simple (?) Spousal Visa Question
we can Register Moving-In at the local City Hall right away as well. I believe you need to be a mid to long term resident (aka not temporary visitor) to do this. So your wife can do it, but you'll need to wait for the residence card, I think. The local staff really have no interest in being helpful...

Re: Simple (?) Spousal Visa Question
[/color]8 user_id=3768] We will ask about the non-CoE route for sure. It really does feel more and more like it is not possible for us to apply for a CoE when we are both living in Canada. I should note that our local Consolate's default response to everything is to call Immigration in Japan . The ...

Re: Simple (?) Spousal Visa Question
I applied for a spouse visa at the Japanese Embassy in London (UK) in 2017. At that time there was the option to apply without a Certificate of Eligibility (CoE). It seemed that applicants were being steered towards the CoE route but in my circumstances it was less burdensome to meet the embassy’s ...

Re: Simple (?) Spousal Visa Question
Did you get married here--registering the marriage at a city office as would normally happen? I've heard that simplifies/streamlines the spouse visa. That's the only bit that I can offer--good luck! Yes, our marriage is registered in Japan and I am in my wife's "family tree" at the local ...

Re: Simple (?) Spousal Visa Question

Any thoughts would be appreciated, folks.

Simple (?) Spousal Visa Question
I somewhat understand the process of applying for a COE for the purposes of applying for a Spousal Visa. It sounds like a long and complicated process, and we are finding different answers about how it works. Even the Japanese Consolate here in Canada can't give us any straight answers. My friend wh...
