PR Japan Guide

Features
Read full description

PR Japan Guide helps foreign residents forecast Japan permanent-residence approval timing, check application readiness, and manage documents and progress. Application data stays on your device and no account is required. FREE APPROVAL TIME FORECAST Choose your immigration office and filing date to see elapsed days and an estimated approval window informed by average review times published by Japan's Immigration Services Agency. This is not internal case progress, approval probability, or a guarantee. PREPARATION Review residence, tax, pension, health insurance, status period, and document gaps. Track a basic document checklist and notes. PROGRESS Save the application date, office, current stage, and additional-document events. If your current residence period expires during PR review, a separate extension application is still required. ONE-TIME PR PREPARATION PACK Optional one-time purchase with route-specific priorities, risk review, and pre-application and waiting-period action timelines. No subscription or auto-renewal. Previous paid-app customers are automatically unlocked. Available in Simplified Chinese, Japanese, English, Vietnamese, Korean, Nepali, and Indonesian. This app provides general information only and is not legal advice, immigration representation, or an application guarantee.
