Status and PR router
Route HSP point searches into evidence and long-term planning
HSP users rarely need points alone. They need salary evidence, visa timing, PR documents, tax records, and long-term finance checks.
Turn 70/80 points into a document checklist
Use when users ask about one-year or three-year PR routes, tax/pension records, guarantor documents, or reason statements.
Fix first-year records before the score becomes evidence
Best for new residents planning HSP or PR from the first year in Japan.
Connect status planning with credit, housing, and staying decisions
Use when the PR/HSP search is tied to mortgages, cards, home loans, or a decision to leave Japan instead.
Choose the HSP or PR path by goal
First year records for future HSP or PR
If the search is HSP points after moving to Japan, PR preparation from first year, or Japan records for permanent residence, use the first 14 days checklist, bank checklist, and My Number checklist before the evidence trail starts.
HSP visa points calculator
If the query is Japan HSP points calculator, HSP visa points calculator, highly skilled professional visa points, or HSP requirements, start with the calculator above, then compare annual remuneration with the Japan salary calculator before assuming the salary band is enough.
PR points or permanent residency fast-track
If the query is Japan PR points calculator, permanent residency points calculation table, or 70/80 point PR route, use the PR documents checklist after estimating points so tax, pension, guarantor, reason statement, and residence timing are not left until the end.
Salary, age, and career evidence
If the query is about salary bands, age points, work experience, degree points, or JLPT bonus, check payslip deductions, income tax, and resident tax so the point story matches payroll and certificate evidence.
Visa renewal or status extension timing
If HSP points are part of a status extension plan, use the visa renewal checklist for residence card expiry, tax certificates, employer papers, photo, online filing, and document timing before relying on point score alone.
Long-term Japan plan or exit decision
If the point score changes whether you stay, connect it to home-loan readiness, the mortgage calculator, or the leaving Japan checklist for pension refund, resident tax, and tax representative planning.
How to read the 70 and 80 point signal
- Below 70: the simplified technical-route signal is not yet at the standard HSP threshold. Salary, age, degree, experience, Japanese language, and bonus evidence are the usual gaps.
- 70+ points: the official system recognizes 70 as the core highly skilled professional threshold. PR timing still depends on continuous stay, reference-date scoring, conduct, tax, pension, and documents.
- 80+ points: the official FAQ describes a reduced one-year permanent residence period in certain 80-point cases. Treat this as a document-check trigger, not an approval result.
Common questions this page answers
Japan PR points calculator
Users searching PR points usually need to know whether they are close to 70 or 80 before gathering employer, tax, pension, and residence documents.
Salary and age interaction
The official annual salary table changes by age band. A salary that earns points under 30 may not earn the same points after 40.
JLPT and Japan degree bonuses
Japanese language and Japanese higher-education evidence can materially change the planning signal, but the official table has stacking caveats.
Technical route caveat
This page focuses on HSP(i)(b), the common specialized/technical worker path. Research and business management applicants should read the full official table.

Connect HSP points with Japan money planning
First 14 days in Japan
Build the address, My Number, bank, salary, insurance, tax, and pension record foundation that later affects visa renewal, HSP, and PR evidence.
Salary after tax
HSP salary points use annual remuneration, but daily affordability still depends on take-home pay after tax and social insurance.
PR documents checklist
After checking 70 or 80 points, use the PR document page for tax certificates, pension records, guarantor documents, reason statement, and route timing.
Renewal documents
If HSP points are part of a residence-status plan, check extension timing, tax certificates, salary evidence, residence card, and employer papers before filing.
Resident tax record
Permanent residence preparation usually turns into tax, pension, and municipal document checks. Start with resident tax if June billing or departure timing is unclear.
Income tax planning
Use the income tax page when the issue is taxable income, deductions, salary vs freelance income, or tax-office documents.
Bank and payroll setup
Use the bank checklist when salary deposit, tax payments, credit history, remittance, or document trail depends on a Japan bank account.
Credit history for long-term plans
Check first credit-card readiness if PR, home loan, or long-term residence planning depends on stable payment history.
Long-term resident planning
Many HSP and PR users next compare rent, mortgage, down payment, and debt-to-income ratio before deciding whether to stay long-term.
Leaving Japan instead
If PR timing is not realistic, check resident tax, pension refund, tax representative, National Health Insurance, and address procedures before leaving.
Japan HSP and PR points FAQ
Is this a legal eligibility decision?
No. This is a planning calculator that maps common inputs to official point-table categories. Immigration status, permanent residence, evidence acceptance, and final scoring are decided through official procedures.
Why does the calculator ask for years at this score?
The official PR fast-track language refers to continuous stay and point levels at application and reference timing. The year input helps separate a point score from a PR timing signal.
Why is annual salary below 3 million yen flagged?
The official table states that advanced specialized/technical and business management activities require at least 3 million yen annual salary.
