For those who wish to live a long and stable life in Japan, obtaining Permanent Residency (PR) offers significant advantages. Shionaga Gyoseishoshi Law Office, based in Kumamoto, provides expert legal support for PR applications across all of Japan.

Benefits of Obtaining Permanent Residency

No More Visa Renewals Once you obtain PR, there is no expiration date on your stay. You can live in Japan long-term without the stress of periodic visa extensions.
No Restrictions on Work You are free to choose any profession, change jobs, or start and manage your own business without any visa-related limitations.
Increased Social Credit Your standing with financial institutions improves significantly, making it much easier to pass screenings for home mortgages and business loans.
Stability Despite Life Changes Your residency status is no longer tied to your marital status or employer. You can maintain a stable life in Japan even in the event of a divorce or career change.

Key Requirements for Permanent Residency

To qualify for Permanent Residency, applicants must generally meet the following four criteria:

Good Conduct: No criminal record and fulfillment of tax/social security obligations.
Independent Subsistence: Stable income and assets to support yourself in Japan.
National Interest: Your residency must benefit Japan (e.g., long-term stay, contribution to society).
Residency Period: Meeting the required number of consecutive years living in Japan.

We offer a detailed consultation to assess whether you meet these requirements and propose the best strategy for your specific case.

Preparation for the Application

Document Collection: Gathering certificates from municipal offices, tax offices, and employers.
Identity Guarantor: Requesting a spouse, colleague, or supervisor to act as your guarantor and providing their necessary documents.
Additional Evidence: Preparing letters of recommendation or supporting materials to strengthen your case.
Statement of Reasons: The “Reason for Application” is a critical factor in the screening process. Our experts draft professional statements to maximize your chances of approval.
