Can parents take their children to settle in Japan?

Parents are usually not allowed to immigrate to Japan with their children. Even after the children obtain the status of permanent residents in Japan, they can only apply for a specific activity visa for their parents (supporting parents) to come to Japan, and the support must meet certain conditions. In addition, if a child under the age of 7 needs help from his parents, he can also apply for a Japanese family stay visa for his parents or spouse, but he can't renew it after the child reaches the age of 7.

First, the maintenance requirement is that parents are elderly (generally over 70 years old).

There are no other relatives who can support their parents in China.

Japanese children have enough parenting ability.

Dependents in Japan are the most suitable dependents (immediate family members) among all relatives.

Generally, after obtaining a specific activity visa, it is valid for 1 year and renewed every year.

Second, special conditions with parents If you have obtained permanent residence through a high-level talent visa in Japan, and there is a child under 7 years old who needs to be looked after at home, you can leave the child with the parents of the applicant or the parents of the applicant's spouse in Japan. But when the child reaches the age of 7, the parents can't renew it, so they can only return to China. If parents want to stay in Japan, they can only stay in Japan with a specific activity visa, that is, they meet the above support conditions. Another way is to apply for a Japanese business management visa for parents, so that parents themselves can obtain permanent residency in Japan as the main applicants, then they can also stay in Japan.
