जापानमा स्थायी बसोबास (永住): आवश्यकता र नयाँ नियम

जापानमा स्थायी बसोबासका लागि बसाइका वर्ष, कर र पेन्सन तिरेको सफा अभिलेख र पर्याप्त आम्दानी चाहिन्छ। संशोधित निर्देशिका 2027-04-01 देखि पूर्ण रूपमा लागू हुन्छ।

2026-10-26 मा समीक्षा गरिएको

कानूनले के माग्छ?

2026-10-01 मा लागू आप्रवासन नियन्त्रण ऐनअनुसार न्याय मन्त्रीले असल आचरण र स्वतन्त्र जीविकोपार्जन दुवै सर्त पूरा गर्ने र स्थायी बसोबास जापानको हितमा ठहरिने व्यक्तिलाई मात्र स्थायी बसोबास दिन सक्छन्।

अध्यागमन सेवा एजेन्सी (ISA) को 2026-10-01 को निर्देशिकाले स्थायी बसोबासलाई गतिविधि वा बसाइ अवधिमा सीमा नभएको सबैभन्दा स्थिर हैसियत भन्छ, त्यसैले आवेदन विशेष सावधानीले जाँचिन्छ। राष्ट्रिय हितको सर्तमा जापानलाई हानि नगर्नु मात्र पर्याप्त छैन: स्थायी बसोबासले देशलाई सकारात्मक र ठोस फाइदा पुर्याउनुपर्छ।

कति वर्ष बस्नुपर्छ?

नियमतः आवेदकले जापानमा लगातार 10 वर्ष वा बढी बसेको हुनुपर्छ, जसमा कम्तीमा 5 वर्ष काम गर्ने उद्देश्यको वा बसोबास प्रकारको हैसियतमा। दीर्घकालीन बासिन्दा (定住者) ले 5 वर्षपछि आवेदन दिन सक्छ। 70 अंक वा बढी भएको उच्च दक्ष पेशेवरले 3 वर्षपछि, 80 अंक वा बढीले 1 वर्षपछि आवेदन दिन सक्छ।

2026-10-01 को निर्देशिकामा प्राविधिक प्रशिक्षार्थी, सीप विकासका लागि रोजगारी (育成就労), विशेष दक्ष कामदार (i), कम्पनीभित्रको सरुवा र केही विशेष गतिविधि हैसियतमा बसेको अवधि ती 5 वर्षमा गनिँदैन। 2026-02-24 को अघिल्लो पाठले प्राविधिक प्रशिक्षार्थी र विशेष दक्ष कामदार (i) मात्र छुटाएको थियो।

जीवनसाथी र बच्चाको हकमा के हुन्छ?

जापानी नागरिक, स्थायी बासिन्दा वा विशेष स्थायी बासिन्दाका जीवनसाथी वा बच्चाले असल आचरण र स्वतन्त्र जीविकोपार्जनको सर्त पूरा गर्नुपर्दैन। 2027-04-01 देखिका आवेदनमा जीवनसाथीको बाटोका लागि 5 वर्ष वा बढीको वास्तविक विवाह र जापानमा लगातार 3 वर्ष बस्नुपर्छ, जैविक बच्चाका लागि 3 वर्ष।

2026-02-24 को अघिल्लो पाठअनुसार जीवनसाथीको बाटोमा 3 वर्ष वा बढीको वास्तविक विवाह र लगातार 1 वर्ष बसाइ चाहिन्छ, बच्चाका लागि 1 वर्ष।

मेरो आवेदनमा कुन निर्देशिका लागू हुन्छ?

आवेदन दिएको मितिले कुन पाठ लागू हुन्छ भन्ने तय गर्छ। 2026-03-31 सम्मका आवेदनमा अघिल्लो निर्देशिका लागू हुन्छ। 2026-04-01 देखि 2027-03-31 सम्मका आवेदनमा पनि त्यही लागू हुन्छ, तर 2026-10-01 को निर्देशिकाको आम्दानी र सार्वजनिक भार सम्बन्धी व्यवस्था पनि लागू हुन्छ। 2027-04-01 देखिका आवेदनमा 2026-10-01 को निर्देशिका पूर्ण रूपमा लागू हुन्छ।

2027-04-01 देखि नयाँ: आवेदन अघिका 10 वर्षभित्र उचित कारणबिना एक पटकमा 6 महिना वा बढी, वा जम्मा 2 वर्ष 6 महिना वा बढी बाहिर बस्नु आवेदकको विरुद्धमा गनिन्छ। छुट पाउने वर्गमा नपरे जापानी भाषा CEFR B1 वा माथि हुनु पनि अपेक्षित छ।

ISA ले B1 प्रमाणित गर्ने परीक्षा 2027-04-01 मा सञ्चालन सुरु हुनुअघि घोषणा गर्ने र जापानका नियम बुझेको जाँच गर्ने तरिका त्यसअघि तय गर्ने बताएको छ। 2026-10-01 सम्म कुन परीक्षा, अंक वा प्रमाण मान्य हुन्छ भन्ने आधिकारिक पृष्ठमा लेखिएको छैन।

कर, पेन्सन र आम्दानी कसरी जाँचिन्छ?

नतिरेको कर र सार्वजनिक शुल्क आवेदकको विरुद्धमा गनिन्छ। करमा आयकर, आवासीय कर, कर्पोरेट कर र सम्पत्ति कर पर्छन्; सार्वजनिक शुल्कमा सार्वजनिक स्वास्थ्य बिमा र पेन्सन किस्ता पर्छन्। आवेदनका बेला केही बाँकी नभए पनि अघि नतिरेको अभिलेख, जस्तै जफत, सामान्यतया विरुद्धमा गनिन्छ।

आम्दानी घरपरिवारको वार्षिक आम्दानी उही आकारका जापानी घरपरिवारको औसत आम्दानीभन्दा निरन्तर बढी छ कि छैन भनेर हेरिन्छ। निर्देशिकामा येन रकम दिइएको छैन, र ISA ले 2026-10-01 मा ती रकम प्रकाशित गर्ने योजना नरहेको बताएको छ।

2027-04-01 देखिका आवेदनमा निर्देशिकाले आवेदकले पाउने अपेक्षा गरिएको पेन्सन पनि हेर्छ, र त्यसलाई जापानी घरपरिवारको औसतभन्दा बढी आम्दानीमा कर्मचारी पेन्सन योजनामा 30 वर्ष काम गरेको व्यक्तिको पेन्सनसँग तुलना गर्छ। कम परे, कमी पूरा गर्न सक्ने वित्तीय सम्पत्तिलाई अन्तर पूरा गरेको मानिन्छ।

शुल्क, प्रक्रिया समय र आवेदन गर्ने तरिका

शुल्क 200,000 येन हो, अनुमति दिइँदा तिरिन्छ, 2026-10-01 देखि प्राप्त आवेदनमा। 2026-09-30 सम्म प्राप्त आवेदनले अझै पुरानो 10,000 येन तिर्छन्।

प्रकाशित मानक प्रक्रिया अवधि 4 देखि 6 महिना हो। व्यवहारमा 2026-08 मा स्वीकृत भएका आवेदनले प्राप्तिदेखि सूचनासम्म औसत 309 दिन लिए।

आवेदन आवेदकको बसोबास क्षेत्र हेर्ने क्षेत्रीय अध्यागमन कार्यालयमा कागजमा दिइन्छ; अनलाइन प्रणाली प्रयोग गर्न मिल्दैन। हालको बसाइ अवधि सकिनुअघि आवेदन दिनुपर्छ। निर्णयविरुद्ध प्रशासनिक पुनरावेदन प्रक्रिया छैन।
