Visa Renewal During
Permanent Residency Application
Essential Visa Renewal During Permanent Residency Processing Even if you are in the process of applying for permanent residency in Japan, it’s crucial to renew your current visa before its expiration. Neglecting this can lead to serious legal consequences, including potential impact on your permanent residency application.
Don’t Forget Visa Renewal During Residency Review Permanent residency applications in Japan can take a significant amount of time, often ranging from six to ten months. During this lengthy review process, your current visa may expire. It’s imperative to renew your visa in such cases to avoid any legal complications, including overstaying, which is a violation of Japan’s Immigration Law and can lead to penalties or even deportation.
Impact of Visa Downgrade on Permanent Residency If, during the renewal process, your visa is downgraded from a longer duration (like 5 or 3 years) to just 1 year, it might indicate issues that could adversely affect your permanent residency application. A downgrade usually suggests negative reasons（ex. Change Job, Long-term Departure from Japan, traffic violation or husband and wife living separately）, which could be detrimental to your permanent residency prospects.
Handling Visa Renewal
Given the complexities and potential risks associated with visa renewal during permanent residency processing, it’s advisable to handle this process with care. For guidance and support, consider reaching out to Continental, where expert advice can help ensure that your residency application and visa renewal are managed effectively and in compliance with legal requirements.
In conclusion, maintaining legal residency status through timely visa renewals is crucial while awaiting the outcome of a permanent residency application in Japan. A downgrade in visa status during this period requires careful attention, as it may impact the residency application.
