Hi there, I'm going to apply for my permanent residence next week, having been married for 10 years, and lived in Japan for almost 3. We have children together, and I work in Japan. I'm actually separating from my wife, for reasons I wont ...

I found out that I will need to be a permanent resident before leaving my spouse, otherwise I will not have sufficient grounds to apply for it. Thanks! Read More

Domestic Violence by kinglott
Hi there, I moved to Japan in January with my family. My brother-in-law lives with my mother-in-law here in Japan (he's a leech), and he's been physically attacking her to the point of injury (the worst instance was a broken leg). She is in ...

Thanks for your reply - I don't live with my mother-in-law or brother-in-law though. I think if I did live with them, he would stop attacking her very quickly. It has been one of my ideas to just move in suddenly, because I think he would move ... Read More

Believe me, I've had to dig deep to not break his nose. I don't want to ruin my chance at getting residency next year though. I've been thinking of where I could put a camera. I can also put together my own setup with a Raspberry Pi and ... Read More

Hi all, My name is Karl - moved here from the UK in January. I live in a countrified part of Chiba prefecture with my family, and hope to meet some people. I speak a little Japanese, so as you can imagine, it's difficult to meet people! I need ... Read More

That wasn't really what I was asking, but thanks anyway! In an ideal world, I would report him, and the police would be arresting him today. However, I need to convince my mother-in-law to report him, because otherwise if the police knock at ... Read More

Citizenship by Descent (evidence) by kinglott
Hi there, I am looking to apply for dual citizenship (British-Maltese) via my 2nd great-grandfather, and 3rd great-grandfather. I am struggling, however, with getting the supporting evidence! All of my Maltese descendants were born before 1863, ...

The application requirements are not very clear online, but I had been informed by a citizenship and expatriate affairs officer in Malta of the requirements. One has to prove 2 consecutive generations through birth and marriage evidence, and parish ... Read More
