If both of you are accepted as JETs, you may request placement together and hope for the best. However, if one of you is not a participant in the JET Program, s/he will not be able to obtain a dependent visa to go to Japan. This means that the non-JET partner would have to visit Japan as a tourist. (American tourists may visit Japan for up to 90 days without a visa. Contact the Visa Section of the Consulate General of Japan at Chicago for more details on the options of non-dependent companions.
