A guide to ensuring the highest chance of success of gaining permanent residence in Japan
⚠️ Update 2025/9/30: Upcoming PR Cancellation Rules (from April 2027) From April 2027 , Japan may revoke permanent residency if someone knowingly and without excuse fails to pay taxes or social insurance. Applies only to malicious cases (large or repeated nonpayment, clear refusal to pay). Illness, disasters, or unemployment are exempt. Past nonpayment can also be reviewed, but settling debts before enforcement reduces risk. In some cases, PR may be downgraded to a renewable visa instead of full cancellation. Stay current with payments to avoid issues once these new rules take effect.
