 Permission for Permanent Residence ----Japanese----
|
1.Permission for Permanent Residence
The status of permanent residence is granted when certain conditions have
been satisfied by foreign nationals who reside in Japan .If a foreign resident
is authorized to stay in Japan on a permanent basis, he will stay in Japan
with the status of residence "Permanent Resident." The status
of residence "Permanent Resident" provides much more advantageous
treatments than other statuses of residence.Because it does not limit the
status holder's activities or period of stay. For this reason, the immigration
control authority needs to examine permanent resident applicants much more
closely than other applicants for merely changing their status of residence.
From this viewpoint, immigration control legislations set forth separate
provision for permanent resident status, independent from ordinary procedures
for change of Status of Residence. |
