Hello, I have recently received many questions about the "guarantor" required for permanent residence applications.
Recently, many people have asked me about the "guarantor" required for permanent residence applications, so I would like to explain about guarantors.
I would like to explain about guarantors.
A guarantor is always required for permanent residence applications, and no matter how perfectly you meet the requirements for permanent residence, you cannot apply for permanent residence without a guarantor.
It is quite difficult for a foreigner to find a "guarantor" in Japan.
Especially in Japan, the word "guarantor" has a strong image of "guarantor (joint guarantor, etc.)" which often appears in debt-related matters.
Therefore, there are quite a few cases in which our customers ask their friends or other Japanese people to be their guarantor, and are refused.
The definition of a guarantor submitted to the Immigration Bureau by the administrative scrivener in charge of our company is
We explain to them that the "guarantor" required when applying for permanent residence, or "guarantor" under the Immigration Control and Refugee Recognition Act, is not a civil legal liability such as often appears in debt relationships, etc., as described above, and they understand this.
A guarantor under the Immigration Control and Refugee Recognition Act is a person who guarantees the economic security of a foreigner and his/her financial security as necessary so that the foreigner can achieve the intended purpose of his/her stay in Japan in a stable and continuous manner.
A guarantor under the Immigration Control and Refugee Recognition Act is a person who promises the Minister of Justice to provide financial guarantees and lifestyle guidance, including compliance with laws and regulations, as necessary to enable the foreign national to achieve the intended purpose of his/her stay in Japan stably and continuously.
The guarantor is not legally obligated to fulfill the guarantees promised to the Minister of Justice, and the guarantor is not obligated to fulfill the guarantees promised to the Minister of Justice.
Even if the guarantor does not fulfill his/her promise, the authorities will only instruct the guarantor to fulfill his/her promise.
In such a case, it can be said that the guarantor is not sufficiently responsible as a guarantor, and is considered to lack eligibility as a guarantor in subsequent applications for entry and stay in Japan, thus losing social credibility and moral responsibility.
