Preparing for a Japanese permanent residency application is often daunting due to the sheer volume of documents and the uncertainty of what might be missing.
"Permanent Residency DIY" is a document preparation tool designed specifically for those intending to apply for Japanese permanent residency. It transforms the Ministry of Justice's extensive documentation into clear, actionable checklists, helping you systematically prepare your application documents and eliminating the hassle of document preparation.
✦ Categorized by Application Pathway: Select the appropriate permanent residency application path based on your circumstances (spouse, employment, highly skilled professional, etc.), and the system automatically generates a list of applicable documents. Each document includes Chinese and Japanese explanations and key preparation points, reducing time spent searching back and forth.
✦ Focus Mode: Feeling overwhelmed by a long list of documents? Focus Mode allows you to focus on one document at a time, clearly listing its requirements. Swipe to switch to the next document—it's as intuitive as flipping through cards, ensuring every document is prepared correctly.
✦ Payment Risk Self-Check: One of the most common reasons for permanent residency application rejection is unpaid pension, tax, or health insurance records. The payment self-check function helps you preview potential payment issues, avoiding omissions only after submission.
✦ Three-stage progress tracking: Each document can be marked as "Not Prepared," "Processing," or "Completed." The home dashboard intuitively displays the overall permanent residency application preparation progress, clearly showing how many documents are still pending.
✦ Local storage, no account required: All preparation progress is stored on your phone. No registration or login is required, and no personal data is uploaded. Only you have control over your permanent residency application information.
No registration required, open and use immediately.
Step by step, permanent residency applications are not as difficult as you imagine.
