My boyfriend is Japanese, and we want to get married recently. How to apply for an immigrant visa?

If you are in China now, then? If yes, the procedure is as follows: first, the Japanese will go to the marriage registration office in China to issue a marriage certificate, then when they return to Japan, they will go to the exit-entry administration to apply for a residence certificate, and then they will apply for a visa at the Japanese Embassy in China with the residence certificate (or sent to you).

If you are in Japan, then

1. Apply for [marriage certificate requirements] and go through the marriage formalities at the district (city) service office;

2. It takes time to register your household registration, and you can apply for the Marriage Acceptance Certificate on the wedding day;

3. Get the [Acceptance Certificate] and go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for certification;

4. Then take the certified [acceptance form] to the China Embassy for notarization;

5. Bring the notarized documents of the embassy back to China and submit them to the Civil Affairs Bureau where your household registration is located. However, many people who got married in Japan did not register in China.
