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.
