Visa for my Mother

Hello, I have a question regarding my mom�fs visa. My mother lived in Japan for almost 20 years. But when our father died we migrated in Philippines which my mother�fs hometown. Now I�fm back in Japan and I want my mother also to come here. Since My citizen is japanese can I get her a visa? And what will be her visa? She has an old alien card, she paid taxes and receives pension from Japan. But ofcourse we were not in Japan for 14 years all her requirements are already expired. Please help me what is the best for my mother. Is it ok to get her a certificate of eligibility?

You do not say how long. For short-term visits she can apply for a visa for visiting relatives at her local Japanese consulate; no CoE needed. For a long-term stay, you can try a "Long-term Resident" visa; this requires a CoE. See http://www.immi-moj.go.jp/english/tetuduki/kanri/shyorui/01.html
