How foreigners living in Japan can call their parents from their own country

There is no visa to bring parents from their own country.

Currently, under Japan's residence status system, visas for foreigners living in Japan to bring their parents from their home country are generally not approved.
However, even within these constraints,This does not mean that there is no way to call your parents..

For example, parents themselves may"Technology/Humanities/International Affairs"or get"business administration" such as"work visa"Etc.Obtain a visa to stay in JapanOrShort term stayThere are options such as coming to Japan.
However, if your parents are elderly and need nursing care, such options may be difficult to implement in reality.

Therefore, in this article,“My parents are elderly and I want to bring them to Japan for nursing care, etc.”We will explain countermeasures for such cases.

Is it possible to bring my parents to Japan by using specified activities (support for elderly parents)?

There are special cases in which it is possible to bring parents to Japan as a special case only if they are elderly in their home country, have no relatives in their home country, or have a chronic illness.
Since it is a special approval, the following conditions are required to call it.

▼ Conditions that children living in Japan must meet

The main premise is that foreigners in Japan themselves“I am not illegally staying in Japan (I am legally residing in Japan)”That is a condition.
It will be difficult to bring in parents unless you have a status of residence and are officially permitted to stay.

In addition, "Having the economic base to live in Japan"will also be considered as a condition.
It seems that the decision was made that there was no point in inviting them if they were to end up in poverty.
These conditions will be determined based on the current household financial situation, such as tax payments and savings balances.

▼ Conditions that parents living in a foreign country must meet]

The condition is that the parents who are invited to Japan are elderly.
However, there is no clear standard for the age of parents, so it is necessary to objectively "recognize the need for child support" as a condition.

Another condition is that there are no spouses, children, or relatives around the parents who are inviting them.
In many cases, it is decided that if the patient can be cared for in their home country, there is no need to bring them to Japan.

I have explained various conditions so far, but it seems that it is extremely rare for someone to be able to completely clear the above conditions.
However, even if the above conditions are not fully met, permission may be granted if there are circumstances such as ``without care, it would interfere with daily life.''
Before giving up because you don't meet the requirements, why not start by making inquiries.
