[Permanent Residence Approval Case] From Business Manager Visa to Permanent Residence | Two Denials → Approved on the 3rd Application (Free Re-application Support)

Case Overview | Continuous Support from Business Manager Visa to Permanent Residence (Approved on the 3rd Application)

In this case, we provided continuous support starting from the client’s Business Manager Visa, and later assisted with a permanent residence application once the client’s life and business base in Japan became stable. For entrepreneurs, PR screening can be stricter because immigration may request many additional documents beyond the applicant’s personal materials, including company-related, family-related, and social insurance documentation. In this case, the 1st and 2nd applications were denied. We organized the reasons for denial, clarified the improvements needed, and proceeded with the 3rd application under our free re-application support, ultimately achieving PR approval.

• Status of residence: Business Manager Visa
• Consultation topic: Permanent Residence application (Business Manager Visa → Permanent Residence)
• Background: Continued support after the Business Manager Visa approval / seeking PR for the family’s future
• Challenge: Many entrepreneur-specific documents; additional verification tends to occur during screening
• Process: 1st denied → 2nd denied → free re-application support (3rd application)
• Result: Permanent residence approved on the 3rd application

Customer Testimonial | We Didn’t Give Up After Denials—PR Was Approved on the 3rd Application

Permanent residence is closely tied to a family’s future and one’s career options. While many people feel “peace of mind if it’s approved,” a denial can also create significant emotional stress. Even if an application is denied, we carefully organize the reasons and improvement points, then proceed with a clear re-application strategy.

	Requested service: Permanent Residence application support (Business Manager Visa → Permanent Residence)

I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the approval of my permanent residence visa.

My children have grown, and they have become so used to life in Japan that they now speak only Japanese. Receiving permanent residence has given me peace of mind about my children’s future and my own work as well.

However, my first application was not approved. I truly wondered whether I should give up, but Mr. Miyagawa encouraged me by saying, “Your conditions and documents are solid. Let’s do our best one more time,” and that gave me the courage to proceed with a re-application.

After that, the second denial made me even more anxious. But Mr. Miyagawa carefully went through the reasons for denial one by one and supported me with additional documents as needed. Thanks to that thorough support, I was able to submit the third application with confidence.

Above all, I feel that continuing forward while valuing my desire to obtain permanent residence “for my family,” all the way to the end, led to this approval. Thank you very much.

[Staff Comment]

This case involved a permanent residence application from a Business Manager Visa. Unlike salaried employees, entrepreneurs may be asked to submit documents related to the actual operation of the business, the company’s management situation, and sometimes materials related to family members as well. In this case, we needed to organize documents in preparation for additional verification, such as the spouse’s income proof (Dependent status) and the employees’ enrollment status in social insurance.

We thoroughly analyzed the reasons for the 1st and 2nd denials, clarified the improvements required, and responded sincerely with supplementary materials. We believe that this careful approach led to approval on the 3rd application. Above all, the biggest factor was that the client strongly wished to obtain permanent residence for their family and did not give up. When we informed the client of the approval, we could clearly see not only joy but also a deep sense of relief.
