Application support for foreign nationals living in Hakuba and Nagano.
We handle eligibility checks, document preparation, and filing with the immigration bureau.
Generally 10 years of continuous residence in Japan, including at least 5 years on a work or other qualifying visa. Shorter periods may apply in certain cases (e.g., spouse of a Japanese national).
You must demonstrate stable and continuous income sufficient to support yourself and your dependents. The required amount varies by household size, but roughly ¥3 million per year is a common benchmark.
All income taxes, resident taxes, pension contributions, and health insurance premiums must be paid on time. Even a single late payment can affect your application.
We review your visa history, employment record, tax payments, and household situation to confirm whether you meet the requirements and identify any issues in advance.
We provide a customised list of required documents and assist with obtaining certificates from local government offices, the tax office, and other authorities on your behalf.
We prepare the full application package, including the application form, reason for application letter, and any supporting documents specific to your situation.
We submit your application to the Nagano Immigration Bureau and handle any additional questions or requests from the examiner during the review period.
We monitor the status and notify you of the result. Upon approval, you will collect your Permanent Resident card at the immigration bureau.
