Marriage etc....

[NagoyaIan]

This year I will marry my Japanese finance. I need info on the family register, the nationality of our kids and any other useful stuff. I am English, and already know that I need a CNI from my Embassy, but I'm not to sure about this other stuff.

Also, I intend to stay here, so anyone know about dual nationality, spousal visa's, and the Japanese pension system, or where I can get some good, easy to understand advice?

I know I'm asking for a lot of info, so thank's in advance for all your help.
