Dual passport and new born visa application

●I have dual Japanese and foreign citizenship, but I do not have a Japanese passport. I would like to return to Japan as a Japanese citizen. Can I use only my foreign passport?

You can enter Japan as a Japanese citizen if you can present a copy of your family register or other proof of citizenship issued within six months, being confirmed that you are a Japanese citizen.

●A child was born to a foreign couple in Japan. What should I do?

You must apply for Status of Residence in Japan. This application should be made within 30 days of the date of birth at the Regional Immigration Office with jurisdiction over the place of residence.
