Bringing your family to Japan

　Your family can obtain visas for entering Japan directly from the Japanese Embassy in your country. In addition, dependents (exchange student) can also obtain authorization of resident eligibility as a proxy at an immigration office in Japan, which the student's family can then take to the Japanese Embassy in the home country and obtain visas. In this way, the time need to have a visa issued is short and the paperwork process at the Japanese Embassy will proceed considerably more smoothly.
