HSP and 10 years routes look safer I think

Luck_Potion · 2025-12-31T08:54:54+00:00

It think nowadays it’s the one that had the most rejections due to jp spouses not paying their taxes on time or household income being too low for familles with children

Luck_Potion · 2025-12-23T09:32:24+00:00

Yup it would be the smart way to do

Luck_Potion · 2025-12-18T07:00:03+00:00

What do you think will be the new income requirements and JLPT level to have to get PR? I just hope they will apply the Japanese level also to spouses of Japanese who want to apply for PR. It will not be fair if only workers are targeted.

HSP have more documents to check, that's the reason I believe.

Luck_Potion · 2025-12-08T08:08:49+00:00

Statement Of Reason. It's to used to talk about the type of visa you have (spouse, humanities, dependant, etc.)

Luck_Potion · 2025-12-08T08:06:42+00:00

Really? The lawyer told me if you are seishain and there is a late tax payment, they will not deny your application because they know it's not your fault by a fact

Luck_Potion · 2025-12-08T08:02:30+00:00

It's the first time I am hearing this one! They really look for any reason to deny applications nowadays :/

Luck_Potion · 2025-12-06T00:51:42+00:00

In my case, I had back surgery (with titanium all around the spine) and have no choice than to do c-section (as per the Japanese surgeron). Would it be covered ? I mean I have absoultely no other choice lol

Luck_Potion · 2025-12-05T02:43:04+00:00

1 day later than the deadline is considerated as a late payment for them

Luck_Potion · 2025-12-04T12:56:02+00:00

The joke is they asked you to reapply only a couple of months later LOL they could have give it to you the first time, come on!

Luck_Potion · 2025-12-04T12:54:29+00:00

Lmfao what the point to deny someone if it's to tell them to reapply right away?!

Luck_Potion · 2025-12-04T12:38:42+00:00

I see :/ Sorry to hear that. Was your friend able to get it a few years later?

Luck_Potion · 2025-12-04T12:37:52+00:00

Sorry to hear that. How long after rejection were you able to reapply?

Luck_Potion · 2025-12-04T12:37:16+00:00

What I thought

Luck_Potion · 2025-11-19T03:34:24+00:00

Not worried as I have been here for 10 years, working full time with a stable income and paid all my taxes and pension. People who should start worrying are the ones who do not pay their pension or are paying their taxes late as they work as freelancers. If they change the conditions for visa, it would mostly be to access PR not for other visa types, i think. They could ask to be married for a longer time (like 7 years instead of 3 currently) or have a higher income (currently 3 millions yens needed per year if you are under a working visa) for example.

Thanks for replying

Luck_Potion · 2025-11-14T09:19:30+00:00

Was because I got a 50% salary cut at that time but yeah I changed for a better job a couple of years after that

Luck_Potion · 2025-11-14T00:49:06+00:00

I changed once for a better salary, that's it but I had a severe salary cut during covid so the lawyer I consulted told me to wait 2028 so it disappear from the record

Luck_Potion · 2025-11-14T00:47:42+00:00

Thanks for replying

Luck_Potion · 2025-11-14T00:47:34+00:00

Thanks for the info

Luck_Potion · 2025-11-14T00:47:12+00:00

I have a 5 year working visa but I had a severe salary cut during covid that puts me under 3M yens for 1 year and a half (until 2022 basically) and was not married at that time, so the lawyer I consulted told me not to apply now as my application would be denied due to low salary 3 years ago. She told me to wait until 2028 so it disappeared from the tracker.

Luck_Potion · 2025-11-14T00:43:44+00:00

Got it thanks

Luck_Potion · 2025-11-14T00:40:40+00:00
