Precautions for Submission of Documents [Common to Application Documents I and II]

  • Please make sure that the form is filled in or typed by the applicant and the financial sponsor in their own handwriting and that it is complete.
  • No corrections or correction fluid may be used. If there are any errors, please rewrite them on a new form.
  • Some required documents may differ depending on the applicant’s situation and country. Please note that you may be asked to submit separate documents if necessary.
  • Copy size should be A4 size, single-sided. Also, please write the date (year, month and day) of the photocopy and the name of the person who made the photocopy in the lower right corner of the form.

A Japanese translation is required for submission to the Immigration Bureau.

  • All documents prepared in a language other than Japanese must be accompanied by a Japanese translation on a separate sheet of paper.
  • The Japanese translation should include the date (year and month) the translation was made and the translator’s name in the lower right corner of the form.
  • If translation from native language to Japanese is difficult, documents translated into native language English Japanese can be accepted.
  • Any format is acceptable. Please make it clear which document is the translation by contrasting it with the original.
