Change to spouse visa while applying for refugee status

XNUMX. XNUMX.Can I change to another visa while applying for refugee status?

First of all, as a premiseYou can apply for a change to another visa while applying for refugee status.
Of course, permission is another matter.

The problem isThe visa application itself is examined, and in some cases (e.g., due to poor residence status or not meeting visa requirements), it may be rejected.In addition to that,Those applying for refugee statusThat in itself can be a negative point.That's the point.

▼ Impact of residence status while applying for refugee status

As mentioned above, in the examinationNegative factorThere is a high possibility that it will be.
Therefore, the risk of being denied permission tends to be higher than those residing in Japan with other visas.
If you apply, be prepared for the possibility of being denied permission and returning to Japan once.

Applying for a change from a refugee applicationseasonPermit rates also vary.
The only way to find out when it is easy to get a permit is to look at the case at that time, but the permit rate is completely different depending on the policy of the Immigration Bureau.

According to our office's research, there are times when it is difficult and times when it is relatively easy.Permit rate: 5% or less ~ 80%There is a difference between
Of course, the results will vary depending on the visa you change, your status of residence before applying for refugee status, and the period during which you are applying for refugee status.

▼ Differences depending on what status of residence (visa) you change to

Changing from a specific activity while applying for refugee status is a high hurdle compared to other visas, but there is a big difference depending on what visa you change to.

In the visa,Japanese spouse etc.""Spouse of permanent resident etc.""Family stay"such asvisa based on statusIt is easier to obtain permission than a work visa.
This makes it relatively easy to obtain permission even if it is difficult to obtain permission when applying for a change from a refugee application.

Many of the specific activities who are applying for refugee status are allowed to work, although there are employment restrictions.
One of the things I was told when I asked the Immigration Bureau about the reason for the disapproval wasThere is no reason to change because I am allowed to workI said that.
There is no doubt that specified activity while applying for refugee status is a more unstable status than other work visas, so it may be a bit harsh to say that there is no reason to change to a work visa, but Japanese refugees Considering that the number of foreigners abusing the application system has increased rapidly, this may be unavoidable.

XNUMX.How can I get permission?

As mentioned above, there are times when changes are difficult in the first place.
Therefore, no matter what you do, there is a good chance that you will be denied permission.

Under such circumstances, one thing that is particularly severe at any time of the year isThose who have a bad status of residence with a student visa.
Those who cannot renew their student visa due to low attendance, poor grades, or overworkIf you apply for refugee status, the changes from there are very strict.
This is because the immigration bureau's study abroad application department has a strict examination.
It is also strict for those who have been denied permission due to illegal work or activities outside the status of qualification with a work visa.
The above people have a high disapproval rate even if they have not applied for refugee status, so the permit rate will change depending on the status of residence in the first place.

If you have no problems with your residence status other than applying for refugee status,The approval rate for changing to a spouse visa is high.You can say.
Changes from other visas Expected to have the same permit rate.
The other thing to keep in mind when applying for a normal change is to be careful.

One of the points on a spouse visa isWhether the marriage is accompanied by substance.
Marriage with this reality is based on immigration standards.Whether or not you live together.
Living together can be said to be a very important point in the examination of spouse visas.
Even if you are relocating alone for work reasons, there are cases where your visa will be refused or your period of stay will be shortened because you do not live with your partner.
After all, it may be necessary measures to prevent fake marriages that abuse the system.

Also in JapanBeing able to maintain a livelihoodIs also important.
After all, it is a problem if you receive welfare protection as soon as you give a visa.
Of course, you may receive welfare protection due to unavoidable circumstances, and depending on the situation, you may have to receive welfare protection in order to survive.
However, the increase in the number of foreigners receiving welfare is a big problem for Japan as well, so in that sense, being able to work well or having a clear intention to work can also be an important factor.

As conclusion,authenticity of marriageとGet a regular jobwill increase the rate of permission to change to a spouse visa.

XNUMX. XNUMX.Consider returning to Japan once as a possibility

Even if you try to increase the rate of permission to change to a spouse visa, there is a limit depending on your previous residence status. You can't change the past.
Therefore, depending on their status of residence, some people may not be allowed to change their status in Japan and have no choice but to return to their home country.
This is even more true for those applying for refugee status, as even those on regular work visas may be able to return home.

Many foreigners think that they will not be able to return to Japan when they return to Japan.
But that's not the case,There's a good chance you'll get it back if you apply properly.

Changing the visa of a foreigner in JapanApplication for change of status of residenceHowever, I applied for a new call for foreigners overseas.Applying for Certificate of EligibilityIs called.
The major difference between these two applications is that the status of residence is the point of examination for change applications.In principle, residence status is not examined for certification applications.Because I am not resident.

However, in practice, it may not be issued depending on your previous status of residence, so this does not mean that your previous status of residence will not affect the examination at all, but at least the hurdles will be much lower compared to changing your status. .

The point isThe sin I committed last time (Violation of immigration law is a crime) And make an appropriate application.
The chances of coming to Japan will increase if you complete the application documents and make a pledge that you will never again reflect on the crimes you have committed in your previous residence.

XNUMX.Number of permits for refugee application itself

The number of asylum applications was 2010 in 1202, compared to 2017 in 19629, when it peaked.

From 2010 to 2020, the number of permits is as low as 6 to 47, and the permit rate is below 1%.
The reason for the increase is the specific activities granted during the refugee application process.You can work virtually without any restrictions.Therefore, it was easier and more convenient than obtaining a work visa.
Therefore, those who have no reason to be refugeesfake refugee applicationwas rampant.

As a measure against disguised refugees as immigration, refugee applications are now rigorously and promptly examined, and the number of foreigners who can only stay in Japan without a work permit for specific activities granted during refugee applications has increased. ..
As a result, the number of refugee applications, which was 2017 in 19629, decreased to 2020 in 3936.
This is probably because the benefits of applying for refugee status have diminished (although it may be affected by the new coronavirus, of course).

Summary

If there is a real reason to apply for refugee status, it is unavoidable, but it is presumed that there are many false asylum applications.
Refugee application has great disadvantages for both Japan and foreigners applying.
However, there is a good chance that you can change to a regular visa, and the permit rate is even higher for spouse visas.
The longer you stay while applying for refugee status, the more negative the review will be, so if you have room to change your application, we recommend that you do so as soon as possible.
