Permanent Residence Requirements Self-Check (HSP 70/80, Work Visa, Spouse of Japanese/PR, Long-Term Resident)
This diagnostic test is a free system that allows foreign nationals to easily check whether they meet the requirements for applying for Permanent Residence in Japan.
Many people would like to handle the application themselves if possible but feel uncertain about whether they meet the approval requirements.
If you properly meet the requirements, it is naturally possible to obtain approval with a high probability even when you apply on your own.
Among the many requirements, there are some which, if not met, will almost certainly result in refusal. On the other hand, there are parts where, even if slightly lacking, a specialist may be able to compensate with evidentiary documents.
This diagnostic test was created by Gyoseishoshi Hojin ACROSEED for the purpose of helping you decide whether to apply by yourself or consult a specialist.
Please note that the test results do not guarantee approval or refusal.
