Navigating the Path to Permanent Residency

Foreign researchers at leading Japanese research institutes like RIKEN, AIST, and JAXA are likely eligible as high-skilled professionals, making them potential candidates for permanent residency in Japan.

Factors such as academic degrees (Ph.D.), professional experience, annual income, research achievements, affiliation with recognized institutions, and alma mater contribute to their points under the Highly Skilled Professional (HSP) system, generally favoring accomplished researchers.

 

Understanding the HSP Points System to Permanent Residence

The HSP points system, although advantageous, is complex and requires meticulous adherence to documentation and compliance with Japanese laws, including social insurance and tax obligations. Even international marriages with Japanese nationals can benefit, allowing for permanent residency in as short as one year if HSP points criteria are met.
