Hello. I'm Nakajima, in charge of Applying for Relationship-based VISA.
Some of you may want to obtain Permanent Residence in the future.
We have helped a lot of foreign nationals for the preparation for Permanent Residence application.
We would like to provide the latest information for you.
Here is interesting statistics released by the Ministry of Justice.

If you obtain Permanent Residence, you can live a stable life in Japan without worrying about the deadline.
This application is only for someone who have already stayed in Japan with Visa. In other words, no one can apply for Permanent Residence if they do not have Visa.
Since Permanent Residence can receive preferential treatment (for example the unlimited activities and term of stay, social credibility, etc.), the inspection for the application is much stricter than that of other Visas.
Cases of applications that are often requested:
・ Spousal Visa → Permanent Residence
・ Long-Term Residence → Permanent Residence
・ Working Visa → Permanent Residence
・ Highly-Skilled Professionals → Permanent Residence
・ Business Manager Visa → Permanent Residence
Case that is occasionally requested
A Permanent Residence’s newborn baby → Permanent Residence
Conditions that are likely to be disapproved
① When you leave Pension unpaid or overdue
② When you leave National health insurance unpaid or overdue
③ When you leave other taxes unpaid or overdue
④ When you frequently go abroad
⑤ When there are minor traffic violations
If some of the above are applied to you, please consult us. We can discern if this can be overturned and if yes, what you should do. Let’s make thorough preparation together!
Thank you for reading.
