Special Permission for Residence/Japan Visa Application Service

1.What is Special Permission for Residence?

1.What is Special Permission for Residence?

As the title suggests this is special permission in order to live in Japan. Specifically this is a way for those living in Japan illegally for whatever reason (overstay, illegal entry, criminal conviction while in Japan etc.). This permission is incredibly difficult to get and must be approved directly by the Minister of Justice.

2. Who Can Apply for it?

The permission itself while technically open to all those illegally staying in Japan realistically those in the following situations have the best chance of being approved.

3. How Can I apply for this Special Permission?

Because this is 'special' permission there is no real official way to apply for it. Instead you need to take yourself to Immigration and appear in front of an immigration officer. You will then be given two options.

a. Leave the country and receive a 1 year ban from entry

If you are not in one of the situations above this may be your best chance of being able to come back to Japan in the future however, there is no promise that you will be able to.

b. Stay and apply for special permission for residence

If you are in one of the situations above (particularly if you are married to a Japanese national) and desperately want to stay in Japan this is probably your best bet. However, there is a big warning here. If you do decide to go forward with this application you will enter into deportation paperwork. If this is not approved you will be officially deported from Japan and barred for a minimum of 5 years.

2.What are some Common Case Examples?

3.What Happens if My Application is Rejected?

At Acroseed we understand that this is an incredibly difficult application. Because of this we offer two options for those whose applications are rejected and are unfortunately deported.

1). Full Refund-If you want to give up and there isn't a realistic way for you to come to Japan again in the future we will refund the full amount you paid. (This may not always be applicable depending on the reason for the rejection or specific situation of the application.)

2). If you don't want to give up we will continue to support you and move from an application for permission for residence to applying for special permission to enter.
