Permanent Residence Application Service
Permanent Residence
The "Permanent Resident" status of residence (visa) differs from other statuses in that there are no restrictions on the type or scope of work activities, and no limit on the period of stay. Obtaining permanent residence eliminates the need for visa renewals, makes it easier to obtain housing loans, and significantly stabilizes your life foundation in Japan.
