As a general, applicants should submit an application with a Certificate of Eligibility.
However, in cases where it is difficult to obtain a Certificate of Eligibility, such as cases where the Japanese spouse, parent or any other relative is not living in Japan, it possible to apply without a Certificate of Eligibility.

Note 1: All applications for this category of visa must be made by the applicant in person at our office.
Note 2: The Japanese spouse/parent is strongly recommended to be present at the time of application, if he/she is in Kosovo.
 
*Within 14 days of moving into an address in Japan, the spouse or child of a Japanese national visa holder (with the exception of 15 days and 3 months visa holders) must apply for Resident Registration at The Regional Immigration Services Bureau near to where he/she is living.
