Guarantor service for Visa application

Hello,

I am from Canada and am interested in applying for the 'Child of a Japanese National Visa'. I have everything I need to obtain this visa except a Guarantor.

According to the Guarantor letter template for this visa, this person would be financially responsible for me should I run of money or break the law etc so it is not just a character reference. I don't have anyone in Japan who could act as my guarantor so I'm wondering if anyone knows of a company who provides this service.

I have contacted a few guarantor companies but they all specialize in guarantor services for foreigners who rent apartments in Japan, not for visas.

If anyone has any leads I would be extremely appreciative!

Thank you.

For family/relationship based visa, it is the family member who would be the guarantor, so I believe in your case it would be your Japanese parent who needs to be your guarantor. Just like I (Japanese) was the guarantor for my non-Japanese husband when we applied for his "spouse of Japanese national" resident status.

I suppose you intend to apply for a visa directly (without a CoE), since you don't seem to have any known relatives in Japan who can apply for a CoE on your behalf? Then ask the embassy/consulate where you want to apply.

By the way, if you are the child of a Japanese citizen and have not formally renounced your Japanese citizenship, you are probably still a Japanese citizen.

Thank you, everyone.
Apparently the guarantor needs to live in Japan so my parent can't sign the letter for me :\

Have you actually contacted the embassy/consulate? They will provide better guidance than random strangers on the Internet.
