We are filipino citizen planning to get married in japan is this possilble?

Question:

we are filipino citizen my bf was working in japan and im just in a tourist visa ? it is possible that we can get married in japan even though we are filipino citizen what would be the requirements to show? please help

Answer:

Yes it is possible.

It will be done at the city office 市役所 "shiyakusho" (or ward office 区役所 "kuyakusho") in the area where your BF is living in Japan.

Since you are both not Japanese, the documentation varies, it is best to contact one of those offices for the required documents. Paperwork is the most important part.

In addition, the Philippine Embassy (or Consulate) in Japan might need to be notified, so check with them too.

Finally after your marriage is official, you can apply for a "DEPENDENT" Status to stay in Japan with the Immigration Office.
