A MESSAGE FROM YVLS
YOU DESERVE TO LIVE HAPPILY WITH YOUR FAMILY
Yokohama Visa & Living Support provides immigration support for individuals and families across Japan and around the world, with a focus on spouse and family-related visas, as well as support for expatriate families.
YVLS also offers practical living support after you receive your visa. Even with your spouse or family by your side, starting a new life in Japan can still bring questions and unexpected challenges.
I lived abroad for 17 years and experienced international marriage, raising a child, working, divorce, and many other changes in life. I understand the challenges that can come with major life changes.
Whenever you need some help or something is unclear, we are here to help and make things easier to understand.
