Japan PR Readiness Tracker

Japan PR Readiness Tracker helps foreign residents in Japan get organized before applying for Permanent Residence. It is a planning, checklist, reminder, and document-organization tool — not legal advice, and it cannot decide whether you qualify. WHAT YOU CAN DO - Explore which PR routes may be relevant — standard long-term, Highly Skilled Professional (points), Special Highly Skilled (J-Skip), spouse of a Japanese national or PR, long-term resident — with cautious, plain-English notes - See a Preparation Completeness score that measures how complete your RECORDS are (not approval) - Build an evidence timeline of residence, visa renewals, tax, pension, insurance, employment, and overseas absences — with gap hints - Track public obligations (income tax, resident tax, pension, health insurance) year by year - Generate a dynamic document checklist tailored to your route and situation - Get cautious risk flags: missing records, late payments, long absences, recent job changes, residence-card expiry, and more - Keep documents in a local-first vault and set reminders for deadlines - Export a clean "Preparation Summary" (PDF or text) to bring to an immigration lawyer / gyoseishoshi WHO IT'S FOR Standard PR applicants, Highly Skilled Professional applicants, spouse-route applicants, long-term residents, and anyone who is several years away but wants to stay organized. FREE & PRO Free: one saved profile, basic route explorer, basic residence timeline, basic checklist, residence-card expiry reminder, and basic educational content. Pro: the full readiness dashboard, public obligation tracker, risk flags, unlimited and family profiles, the document vault, the evidence timeline, the export summary, advanced reminders, route comparison, detailed checklists, and the lawyer / gyoseishoshi preparation packet. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no backend, no analytics. Your profiles and documents stay on your device unless you choose to export them. IMPORTANT This app provides educational estimates, checklists, and organization tools only. It is not legal, immigration, tax, or financial advice, and it does not determine eligibility for Permanent Residence or guarantee any outcome. Requirements and their interpretation change. Confirm your situation with the Immigration Services Agency of Japan, your municipality, employer, pension office, tax office, or a qualified immigration professional. Checklist version: 2026-JP-MVP.
