Timeliness of Tax Payments is Crucial for Permanent Residency Applications

One of the requirements for a permanent residency application is to be a person who "abides by the law and leads a socially irreproachable life as a resident in their daily life."
If you have paid your taxes after the payment deadline, you may not be considered to have met the above requirement, and there is a high possibility that your application for permanent residency will be denied.
In fact, one of the documents to be attached to the permanent residency application is a "document proving that resident taxes have been paid at the appropriate time (e.g., a copy of a bank book)."
For those with a work visa such as an "Engineer/Specialist in Humanities/International Services," five years of tax payment records are required. If you have paid your taxes after the deadline within this five-year period, your permanent residency application will be denied.

If you are considering applying for permanent residency and are concerned about meeting the requirements, please do not hesitate to consult our office.
