Many foreign residents in Japan worry

“Can I get a home loan without permanent ?”


The answer is: maybe yes.


Even without permanent residency, some banks may still consider your application.


Banks don't look only at permanent residency.

They usually check your overall situation.


What banks often check

 Visa Status

Status of residence without employment restrictions.


・Spouse of Japanese National

・Spouse of Permanent Resident

・Long-term Resident


 Employment Status

 "Seishain", a full-time employee, with at least one year of continuous service.


Annual Income

 More than 3 million yen


Japanese Proficiency Ability

Basic conversational Japanese and reading comprehension (including kanji).


※If your Japanese is limited, it may help to:

・go with your spouse

・talk to a foreigner-friendly real estate company

 Down Payment

20% of the property purchase price.


Loan record

No history of delinquency on past loans (car loans, credit cards, mobile phone payments, etc.).



Banks will make a comprehensive decision based on these factors. So, not having permanent residency doesn’t always mean no.


Important point

However, the checking process will be extremely difficult under the following conditions.


 Visa Status

Visas other than those listed above are not available.


 Employment Status

For self-employed individuals, at least three years since the start of business is required.


Annual Income

In principle, more than 3 million yen. If you don't meet it, it will be judged on a case-by-case basis.


 Loan record

Even if you meet the above requirements, the possibility of passing the screening is low if your loan record is not good.


Summary

A home loan may still be possible even without permanent residency.


The important thing is not to give up too early.
