Type of visa/COE

Hi! I was once married to a Japanese and lived in Japan for 2yrs. Technically we are already divorced in Japan but not in PH (we were married in PH). Current situation: I�fm now in PH for 3yrs and I have a baby who is half Japanese (my current partner is also a Japanese). My question is, how can we have a COE to go to Japan? Or what type of visa should we get? Thanks!

First step is to get a full divorce, then marry your new partner. Spouse visa is only for married couples. Plus other conditions apply, such as financial stability in Japan. But I think the first steps is getting into a position where the two of you can marry.

Thanks for your response. We don�ft have divorce here in PH, we can only have annulment and it takes years ; btw, it�fs on process. For the meantime we want to visit Japan so the grand parents can see my baby. Would it be possible to get a tourist visa than COE?

There are many visa categories including tourism but also a special one for philipino mother of half Japanese child.

If you want to reside in Japan on a spouse visa however you need to get married. And you can�ft get married without being fully divorced first.
