Japan is making it easier for Indians who want to live and work there. The country is now offering Permanent Residency (PR) to Indian citizens for a small fee of 8,000 yen (about Rs. 4,800). The process has also been made simpler and more straightforward. For many Indians, Japan is attractive not just for its strong job opportunities but also for its culture, modern facilities, and high standard of living.

Permanent Residency allows foreigners to stay in Japan without any time limit. It also gives them the freedom to switch jobs without restrictions and provides the security of long-term settlement. For Indians who want to build a future in Japan, PR is a big step toward stability and belonging.
