Who this article is forAn enquiry from the applicant himself or herself about an application for renewal of the period of stay of a holder of the status of residence 「定住者」.
If you apply for renewal of the period of stay after a divorce, it is said that it is treated not as 「定住者」 (spouse of a 定住者) but as an application for change to what is commonly called "divorce 定住者" (「離婚定住」). In that case, a marriage in Japan with a genuine marital life lasting roughly 3 years or more is said to be one of the requirements, and a marriage that only just meets that length, or a long period of seasonal work overseas, is said to be able to count as a negative factor.
