How long must I stay married with a JAPANESE so when I leave her I can still have permission to stay in JAPAN?

Question:

I mean, if I marry a japanese woman, how long must I stay married until I can leave her with permission to stay inside Japan forever, not as tourist nor being deported to my country.

After you answer my previous question I beg you to answers this one too: I have to arrange the legal divorce to have the permission to stay in japan or it's enough if I just leave her?

One more question: If i don't marry her but stay with her as her groom for many years inside the country of Japan, can I stay forever in the country after I leave her or will I be deported?


So so many thanks to anyone who answer properly to my three questions. Thanks a lot.

Answer:

You can apply for Permanent residence after marrying a Japanese for 3 years. If you got PR, you can stay in Japan forever.

>If i don't marry her but stay with her as her groom for many years inside the country of Japan, can I stay forever in the country after I leave her or will I be deported?

You can't stay in Japan just as her "groom". You need working visa or something. And you will have to stay in Japan for 10 years or so to apply for PR if you are under working visa.

3 years condition is possible only if you are under spouse visa.
