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 subject to examination, and in some cases (such as poor status of residence or failure to meet visa requirements), it may be denied, and those who are applying for refugee status will be a negative point in itself. There isIt is a point.

● Impact of status of residence during refugee application
As mentioned above, it is likely to be a negative factor in the examination.
Therefore, the risk of disapproval tends to be higher than those who are resident on other visas.
If you apply, be prepared for the possibility of being denied permission and returning to Japan once.

The permit rate for changing applications from the time of refugee application varies depending on the time.
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 research, there is a difference in permission rate of 5% or less to 80% depending on whether it is strict or relatively easy.
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.

On the visa"Japanese spouse etc.""Spouse of permanent resident etc.""Family stayIt is easier to get a permit based on your status than a work visa.
This is relatively easy to get permission even when it is difficult to get permission for change application from 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 certain activities during refugee application are unstable compared to other work visas, so it seems a bit rough to say that there is no reason to change to a work visa, but Japanese refugee application Considering that the number of foreigners who abuse the system has increased rapidly, there may be some unavoidable parts.

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.

During that time,What is especially severe at any timeThose 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 problem with your status of residence other than applying for refugee status, you can say that the permission rate for changing to a spouse visa is high.
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 assigned to work alone for work reasons, you may be denied permission or your period of stay may be shortened because you are not living together.
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, increasing the number of foreigners receiving welfare protection is a big problem for Japan, and in that sense, it can be an important factor to have a solid job or a clear intention to work.

As conclusion,Marriage authenticity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 permission rate for changing to a spouse visa, there is a limit depending on your status of residence.
The past cannot be changed.
Therefore, depending on the status of residence, some people may have to return to Japan without being allowed to change in Japan.
This is especially true for those who are applying for refugee status, as even people with regular work visas may return to their home countries.

Many foreigners think that they will not be able to return to Japan when they return to Japan.
However, that is not the case, and there is a good chance that you will come 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, the application for certification will not be examined for status of residence..
Because I am not resident.

However, in practice, it may not be issued depending on the previous status of residence, so it does not mean that the previous residence will not affect the examination at all, but at least the hurdle is much lower than the change.

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 that the specific activities granted during the refugee application are easier and easier to use than obtaining a work visa because they can work with virtually no work restrictions.
Therefore, fake refugee applications for those who had no reason as refugees were 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.
As for refugee application, the longer you stay while applying, the more adversely it will affect the examination, so if you have room to apply for change, we recommend that you change as soon as possible.
