If you want to stay in Osaka for a long time,
Should I consider a naturalization application?

If you would like to naturalize and live in Osaka for a long time, please use Climb, an expert scrivener for naturalization procedures.
Naturalization experts will do their best to assist you in applying for naturalization.
Applying for naturalization is a difficult procedure, but there are points to make it successful.

First of all, it is important to have an address where you live for a long time.
Those who frequently travel abroad or who have a long overseas stay in a year should be careful.
In addition, you will be checked for crimes and anti-social activities in your conduct, for example, to make sure that you have sufficient income in your livelihood situation, and in the past for tax or pension delinquency.

In fact, there are various points in the naturalization procedure in addition to this, and if you do not understand these points, naturalization that would have been able to obtain "permission" may become "denial".
Therefore, when naturalizing in Osaka, you should request an administrative scrivener who is strong in naturalization procedures.

If your application for naturalization is accepted, you will be able to obtain Japanese citizenship and get the right to vote. Also, there are no work restrictions.
