Permanent visa;- new additional requirements from July 1st, 2019

2019年6月21日、法務省ホームページにて7月1日以降の永住許可申請の提出書類が突然更新されました。新たな提出書類も追加され全体として増えましたので注意が必要です。良い点としては必要書類が明確になったことです。条件を満たしている方にとっては透明性と迅速な審査が期待されます。条件を若干満たしてない方には明確なゴールが示されているので対応しやすいはずです。

On June 21, 2019, the Ministry of Justice website suddenly updated the requirements for permanent residence applications, effected from July 1st, 2019. Please be noted that public documents have been newly listed and the total number of requirements has increased. If you say its merit on this updates, the required documents are clear enough. For those who meet the requirements, transparency and prompt examination are highly expected. Those who do not reach the requirements a little will see clear goals, so it should be easier to fix.

Outline of new requirements:

  1. National tax payment certificate (#3)  
  2. Copies of  “monthly records of total pension” https://www.nenkin.go.jp/n_net/n_net/manual/record.html
