All Kinds of visas in Japan.
There are various visas established for different purposes,
such as working, living with family, studying or attending school, and permanent residency. Foreign nationals residing in Japan can apply for a change of status of residence if there is a change in their current activities.
Even if the activities do not fall under any of the status of residence categories (visas) stipulated for activities conducted in Japan, a status of residence (visa) such as "Designated Activities" or "Long-term Resident" will be granted at the discretion of the Minister of Justice, provided there are appropriate circumstances.
