Got my spouse COE today - I got 5 years!!!

Just thought I’d share because I thought getting 5 years was impossible for the first one.

For context: from NZ, married to a Japanese spouse for 9 years with 1 child. Applied in Kumamoto and received COE in 2 months.

This means I should be able to apply for PR after 1 year right under new rules needing a 5 year visa, due to being married for so long?
