Recently, we have been receiving consultations regarding Permanent Residency (PR) applications every single day.

When you live in Japan for a long time, you might naturally start thinking about securing your Permanent Residency. Let’s take a moment to review the essential requirements for a PR application.

【Basic Requirements for Permanent Residency】

Good Conduct: Complying with Japanese laws and living responsibly as a member of society.

Independent Livelihood: Having stable income, assets, or skills to support yourself and your family.

Contribution to Japan's Interests: Generally living in Japan continuously for 10 years or more, while properly paying taxes, pensions, and health insurance.

While the "10-year residency rule" is the standard baseline, there are specific exceptions to this rule.

Even if you have not been in Japan for 10 years, you can apply for Permanent Residency in as little as 3 years (or even 1 year in certain cases) by utilizing the "Highly Skilled Professional Points System," which evaluates your academic background, career history, and annual income.

"Do I meet the requirements?"
"Can someone help me calculate my points?"

If you have any questions or doubts, please feel free to reach out to us at any time. Based on immigration practice, we will thoroughly analyze your specific situation and provide a realistic assessment of your potential.

The climax occurs when we take these massive 13 floats, each weighing around 4 tons, and spin them dynamically in circles! As a "Teko," I was right there on the front lines, using wooden levers to help maneuver and rotate the float. The sheer power, the rhythmic music, and the energy of the crowd as the 4-ton structure spins is an experience like no other.

If you are in the Tokai region, you absolutely must see this spectacle in person. The sight of the towering floats illuminated by lanterns, combined with the intensity of the Yama-mawashi, is unforgettable.

I am proud to be part of such a vibrant tradition. See you again in Ogaki!

Experiencing the Tradition of Ogaki Matsuri!

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who attended our free consultation session in Ogaki recently. It was a privilege to meet with you and discuss your concerns.

During my stay, I had the incredible opportunity to immerse myself in the local culture at the Ogaki Festival (Ogaki Matsuri). This historic event, boasting over 360 years of tradition, is designated as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. The festival features 13 magnificent "Yama" floats, each decorated with intricate carvings and tapestries.

I was honored to participate as a "Teko," a role essential for maneuvering these massive 4-ton floats through the city streets. Using wooden levers to steer and balance such a heavy structure requires both strength and teamwork. It was a physically demanding but deeply rewarding experience to be part of the energy that keeps this tradition alive.

For those living in or visiting the Tokai region, I highly recommend experiencing the Ogaki Matsuri firsthand. The sight of the towering floats, especially when lit by lanterns at night, is truly spectacular.

It is a wonderful reminder of the vibrant community spirit here in Gifu. I look forward to returning to Ogaki soon!

【Big News! Permanent Residency Granted in Just 4 Months!】

We are thrilled to share another success story!
One of our clients has successfully secured their Permanent Residency (PR), transitioning from a Spouse Visa.

The highlights of this case:

Processing Time: Only 4 months

Total Cost: 55,000

By following a professional visa strategy and handling the submission at the Immigration Bureau personally, the client achieved this result with maximum efficiency and minimum cost.

■ Why Choose a Professional Strategy?
Visa procedures in Japan are notoriously complex and the requirements for PR are becoming stricter every year. A single mistake can lead to a long recovery process. Having a "winning strategy" before you apply makes all the difference in speed and results.

If you are feeling overwhelmed by the paperwork or unsure about your eligibility, don't navigate this alone. We are here to provide the expertise you need via chat.

■ Our Budget-Friendly Approach
We believe expert legal support should be accessible. By having our clients visit the Immigration Bureau themselves with our professionally prepared documents, we are able to maintain the highest quality of support while significantly reducing the cost for you.

Note: Eligibility for our budget plans may vary depending on individual circumstances and the complexity of the case.

■ A Message to Our Client who get PR

Huge congratulations on your Permanent Residency! We are honored to have played a part in securing your future in Japan. Truly, truly congratulations!

I’d like to introduce "S factory," a hidden gem of a crepe shop here in Kitanagoya that I personally highly recommend.
The moment you step inside, you’ll be blown away by the walls completely covered in autographs from famous artists and professional athletes. It’s an incredible sight that shows just how much this place is loved.
And then, there’s the Master.
At first glance, his wild, "gangster-like" appearance might be a bit intimidating—but don't let that fool you! He is actually incredibly kind, friendly, and easy to talk to. This "gap" between his look and his personality is one of the shop's greatest charms.
Not only are the crepes delicious, but the unique atmosphere makes it a place you’ll want to visit again and again. If you’re ever in Kitanagoya, you definitely need to stop by!

Reflecting on recent legislative changes and the current social climate in Japan, I cannot help but feel a deep sense of unease at the accelerating tide of exclusionism.

It goes without saying that illegal stays and criminal acts should never be tolerated. However, I feel a profound indignation when I see all foreigners—who are living here with sincerity and integrity—being subjected to discrimination based on the actions of a few.

To be blunt, discrimination is always the product of those who lack education and refuse to see beyond the confines of their own narrow world.

Over the years, I have been privileged to witness the incredible lives of my clients.
One client, in particular, left their home country and worked tirelessly in an unfamiliar land, sending money home for years to support their family. They eventually raised two children to become outstanding healthcare professionals right here. Among those our office has supported, many contribute more to the foundation of Japanese society and their local communities than anyone else.

I take immense pride in my work, which allows me to support such remarkable people at the most critical turning points of their lives. Being able to help pave the way for their future is a true honor.

At SHILAWZ Immigration Law Office, we will never tolerate baseless discrimination fueled by ignorance. We will continue to stand on the front lines to protect the rights and dignity of everyone living in Japan with purpose and heart. We stand with you.
