Visa pasangan di Jepang: syarat dan hal yang diperiksa

Pasangan warga negara Jepang atau penduduk tetap: masa tinggal 5 tahun, 3 tahun, 1 tahun, atau 6 bulan, dokumen yang diminta, dan hal yang dapat mengakhiri status.

Ditinjau pada 2026-10-26

Status apa saja yang ada?

“Pasangan atau Anak Warga Negara Jepang” (日本人の配偶者等) mencakup pasangan warga negara Jepang, anak angkat khusus warga negara Jepang, dan orang yang lahir sebagai anak warga negara Jepang.

“Pasangan atau Anak Penduduk Tetap” (永住者の配偶者等) mencakup pasangan penduduk tetap atau penduduk tetap khusus, dan anak orang tersebut yang lahir di Jepang dan tinggal terus-menerus sejak itu. Kedua status diberikan untuk 5 tahun, 3 tahun, 1 tahun, atau 6 bulan.

Dokumen apa untuk pasangan warga negara Jepang?

Untuk permohonan sertifikat kelayakan, Badan Layanan Imigrasi (ISA) meminta salinan daftar keluarga (koseki) pasangan Jepang yang mencatat pernikahan, disertai surat penerimaan pemberitahuan pernikahan jika belum tercatat, dan surat nikah yang diterbitkan otoritas negara asal pemohon.

Untuk menunjukkan biaya hidup, ISA meminta surat keterangan pajak penduduk dan surat bukti pembayaran pajak terbaru selama 1 tahun dari penanggung. Jika surat itu tidak dapat menunjukkan dananya, alternatif seperti salinan buku tabungan atau pemberitahuan tawaran kerja diterima. Pasangan Jepang diharapkan menjadi penjamin dan harus tinggal di Jepang.

Pasangan membuktikan hubungan dengan 2 sampai 3 foto tanpa suntingan yang memperlihatkan keduanya dengan jelas, ditambah catatan lain seperti media sosial atau riwayat panggilan, dan kuesioner. Surat yang diterbitkan di Jepang harus bertanggal dalam 3 bulan, dan dokumen berbahasa asing perlu terjemahan bahasa Jepang.

Bagaimana dengan pasangan penduduk tetap?

Daftar periksa ISA untuk pasangan penduduk tetap memiliki 9 butir. Isinya antara lain surat nikah, catatan penduduk (juminhyo) pasangan penduduk tetap yang memuat semua anggota rumah tangga dengan My Number dihilangkan, surat jaminan dari pasangan itu, dan bukti kontak antara kedua pasangan.

Kuesioner hubungan setebal 8 halaman dan harus ditandatangani oleh pasangan di Jepang. ISA memperingatkan bahwa isian palsu dapat merugikan dalam pemeriksaan atau bahkan berujung tanggung jawab pidana.

Apa yang diperiksa kantor saat perpanjangan dan perubahan?

Saat perpanjangan, salinan koseki pasangan Jepang harus tetap mencatat pernikahan. Pasangan yang membayar biaya hidup sendiri menyerahkan surat pajaknya sendiri, dan pasangan penduduk tetap menyerahkan dokumen yang membuktikan pernikahan masih berlanjut.

Per 2026-06, pedoman ISA menyatakan apakah ada “alasan yang patut” untuk menyetujui perubahan atau perpanjangan merupakan kewenangan Menteri, dengan mempertimbangkan kegiatan, perilaku, keuangan, pajak, dan kewajiban pelaporan. Tidak membayar pajak adalah faktor negatif, begitu juga tinggal lama di luar negeri dengan izin masuk kembali kecuali ada alasan yang sah.

Orang yang tinggal dengan status Kunjungan Singkat hanya dapat mengubah status karena keadaan khusus yang tak terhindarkan, sehingga beralih ke status pasangan setelah masuk sebagai pengunjung dibatasi.

Perceraian, kematian pasangan, dan tidak menjalankan kegiatan sebagai pasangan

Status dapat dicabut jika pemegangnya terus-menerus tidak menjalankan kegiatan sebagai pasangan selama 6 bulan atau lebih tanpa alasan yang sah. Orang yang tinggal sebagai pasangan harus melaporkan perceraian atau kematian pasangan ke ISA dalam 14 hari; pelaporan daring tidak memerlukan dokumen pendukung. Tidak melapor dapat dikenai denda maksimal 200,000 yen.

ISA menerbitkan kasus perubahan ke Long-Term Resident setelah pernikahan berakhir dan tidak memberi ukuran angka. Dalam kasus yang dipublikasikan pada 2017-03, 7 kasus yang disetujui memiliki pernikahan sekitar 3 tahun sampai sekitar 11 tahun 5 bulan, dan 3 dari 6 kasus yang ditolak melibatkan pernikahan kurang dari 3 tahun.

Izin tinggal permanen, biaya, dan waktu proses

Pasangan warga negara Jepang, penduduk tetap, atau penduduk tetap khusus tidak wajib memenuhi syarat berkelakuan baik dan penghidupan mandiri untuk izin tinggal permanen. Jalur pasangan membutuhkan pernikahan yang sungguh-sungguh 3 tahun atau lebih ditambah 1 tahun tinggal terus-menerus menurut pedoman 2026-02-24, naik menjadi pernikahan 5 tahun dan 3 tahun di Jepang untuk pengajuan mulai 2027-04-01.

Sertifikat kelayakan gratis dan berlaku 3 bulan. Waktu proses standar adalah 1 sampai 3 bulan untuk sertifikat, 1 sampai 2 bulan untuk perubahan status, dan 2 minggu sampai 1 bulan untuk perpanjangan.

Mulai 2026-10-01, biaya di loket untuk perubahan status atau perpanjangan bergantung pada masa yang diberikan. Untuk masa 1 tahun atau lebih: 33,000 yen untuk tepat 1 tahun, 48,000 yen untuk lebih dari 1 tahun sampai kurang dari 3 tahun, 64,000 yen untuk 3 tahun sampai kurang dari 5 tahun, dan 75,000 yen untuk 5 tahun atau lebih.
