〇Conditions for being granted a specific activity visa as a same-sex partner
　Currently, the Immigration Bureau grants a status of residence for specific activities based on a comprehensive assessment of other circumstances if the marriage relationship is valid under the laws of the home country. The point here is that the marriage is valid under the laws of the home country, so same-sex partnerships in Japan are not regarded as valid.
　The same-sex partnership system in Japan is nothing more than a municipal system and is not recognized as a legal marriage.
In addition, if the marriage is not valid according to the laws of the home country and is registered as a common-law marriage in the home country, the examination will be conducted by comprehensively judging the actual situation of the country.

〇Is same-sex partner status of residence (visa) permitted?
　For cross-sex partners, there are statuses of residence such as family stay for spouses of people poses work visas, and spouses of Japanese or permanent residents for spouses of Japanese or permanent residents. However, this status of residence does not apply to same-sex partners. Therefore, although it does not fall under the existing status of residence, they are addressing it by permitting the status of residence of "designated activities" if certain conditions are met.
