For those who are thinking of obtaining permanent residency, this is the kind of administrative office I would recommend!
Permanent residence is a status of residence that removes restrictions on the period of stay in Japan and basically allows free choice of occupation. Therefore, the percentage of permanent resident status granted is lower than that of other statuses. Therefore, many people ask for help from an administrative scrivener, but here are some points to keep in mind when doing so.
What is permanent residence?
Permanent residence is one of the statuses of residence, and literally means “the right for a foreigner to reside permanently in Japan.
Let me explain with an example: Mr. A (a foreign national) with a work visa is working for a Japanese company. If Mr. A marries Ms. B (Japanese nationality), who also works for the same company, he can change his status of residence from the current work visa to “Spouse or Child of Japanese National”. This status of residence is generally called “permanent residence.
If a permanent resident status is obtained, there are no restrictions on the period of stay, and the foreign national can reside in Japan permanently. In addition, there are basically no restrictions on the choice of occupation. In other words, by obtaining “Permanent Resident Status,” you will be able to lead a life similar to that of a Japanese national.
Who do you recommend?
Permanent residency" has many advantages, such as the elimination of restrictions on the period of stay and the freedom to choose one’s occupation. However, it is very difficult to obtain permission because of the strict screening process.
Therefore, many people decide to ask a professional administrative scrivener for help. However, there are many people who wonder how to choose the best administrative scriveners from among the many available. Here, we would like to explain our recommendations for administrative scriveners.
First of all, in many cases, you will search for an administrative scrivener by using websites, etc. By browsing websites, you can learn about the fields in which they specialize, their fees (charges), and so on. In addition, it is also important that the office is close to your home or office, as you may have to visit the office several times when you actually make a request.
After browsing the website and looking for several potential Gyoseishoshi Lawyer offices, you should actually call them to inquire about their services. If you find a firm that you like, you should visit them for a consultation.
If you actually meet with the Gyoseishoshi Lawyer and he or she is just as you imagined, you may consider requesting a consultation. However, if there are several Gyoseishoshi Lawyer offices you are interested in, you should go to the remaining offices for consultation before deciding whether or not to make a request.
If you have friends or acquaintances who have applied for “permanent residence” before, you can ask them about their experiences and choose an administrative scrivener office.
What should I keep in mind when looking for an administrative scrivener?
There are three things to keep in mind when looking for a good administrative scrivener.
First, the amount of compensation and the nature of the work must be clear. The amount of remuneration can be set freely by the administrative scrivener, so the amount varies. However, even if the fee is low, if the client has to collect all of the documents, the so-called cost performance is not good. In other words, it is good if the fee is commensurate with what the administrative scrivener actually does.
Second, they will listen to the client thoroughly before starting work. The documents, etc. required will vary depending on the client’s situation. In light of this, an administrative scrivener firm that interviews the client about the client’s past and current situation is trustworthy.
Third, the follow-up after the application is well done. The percentage of “permanent residence” granted is about half. If the application is rejected, the applicant usually has to reapply. In anticipation of this point, you can trust an administrative scrivener firm that will explain in advance whether they will handle the re-application, whether the fee includes the re-application, and so on.
Conclusion
Obtaining permanent resident status is difficult, so be sure to look for an administrative scrivener office with the reapplication process in mind. Although it is easy to pay attention to low fees, it is important to check whether the fees are commensurate with what the administrative scrivener will actually undertake.
