Japan Pr Permanent Residency Application Official Forms
When you apply for Japanese permanent residency as a “Highly Skilled Foreign Professional,” the documents you need hinge on your point score at the time of application and at the benchmark date (one year ago or three years ago). The Immigration Services Agency’s official guidance page conveniently bundles every application pathway and required form under a single portal, sorted by point threshold and residency status.
The Official Core Portal
Find the Checklist That Matches Your Situation
Once you’re on that page, expand the section that fits your profile:
- The 80-point track (1 year of residency):
- You already hold a “Highly Skilled Professional” or “Designated Activities” visa and score 80+ points.
- You hold another residency status (like Engineer/Specialist in Humanities/International Services) but meet the 80-point threshold both now and one year ago.
- The 70-point track (3 years of residency):
- You already hold a “Highly Skilled Professional” or “Designated Activities” visa and score 70+ points.
- You hold another residency status but meet the 70-point threshold both now and three years ago.
Each branch links you straight to the official PR application form (Excel / PDF), the pension and tax proof requirements for the relevant time period, sample point calculation sheets, and the guarantor letter, all in their original official format.
