Who this article is forAn enquiry from the applicant themselves about reapplying as 日本人の配偶者等 after the 永住者 status of residence was revoked.
As a premise for reapplying, you need to confirm whether the marriage to the Japanese spouse is still valid, for example from the Japanese spouse's 戸籍 (family register). In an application for 日本人の配偶者等, it is not enough for the marriage to be legally established; you must also prove that a marriage with real substance is continuing. The earlier revocation of 永住者 may have been directly caused not only by the bigamy itself but also by concealing it when obtaining permission for permanent residence, so we think it is important to confirm accurately how the revocation came about, explain those facts and that background in this application, and show the person's remorse. We also consider that it is desirable to prove that the marriage in the home country has been dissolved.
