In America, my daughter will give birth in January next year. What do I need to put the child in Japan? Also, how long should I go through the procedure after I was born? Please tell me.

If you are born in the United States, you will be dual citizen if your parents are Japanese. You have to choose what nationality you want the child to be 21 years old. Japan is a country that does not allow dual nationality for adults, but if it is a child, it is better to choose an American adult (21 years old) as a prisoner.

If you have just layover staying in the airport, you don't need it. Only if you want to enter Japan and go outside airport, you need one. However, you don't have enough time to go around city anyway.

In such cases, it may take around 1-2 months for the results. Therefore, early planning for your trip to Japan is recommended. Please visit our website or call our office for more information.

Would a secured fare be sufficient to cover the flight itinerary requirement for a tourist visa and when are we informed if it has been approved?

Sophia Verds | Dec 7, 2018
Consulate General of Japan in Los Angeles (Owner) | Dec 8, 2018

Regarding your flight itinerary/reservation, it must have the visa applicant’s name and date along with the flight information (starting with the US AND including the flight to/from Japan). You do not need to purchase your airline ticket until the visa is approved, however you need to make a reservation. You may want to consider adding trip protection or insurance should you need to cancel. In order to make a reservation without purchase, please consult with the airline or travel agency.
