About This Section
Mardy moved to New Zealand on a Working Holiday Visa and later transitioned to a Work Visa, then applied for a Partner Visa. These articles draw on firsthand experience — from gathering relationship evidence to compiling application documents — and also highlight resources from other Japanese bloggers living overseas. The goal is to share what the process actually looks like, without sugar-coating the paperwork or the waiting.
