Can parents come to Japan for retirement after Japanese immigrants stay permanently?

Only high-end talent visas, that is, special talent visas, can apply for parents to come to Japan. However, the requirements of this visa for applicants are not generally high; The only visa that parents apply for to come to Japan is a specific activity visa. Because the immigration bureau has no clear application conditions, it generally means that they can apply for a specific activity visa on special occasions, so it is extremely difficult to apply.

Any other Japanese visa, including Japanese business visa, is difficult to apply for parents to come and live together for a long time. Usually there is only a three-month tourist visa. Under special circumstances, you can apply for a visa extension for another three months, and you must leave Japan before the expiration. At present, the common alternative is to apply for a multiple-entry visa for three to five years. Fortunately, Japan is not far away, so it is convenient to go back and forth if you are healthy.
