Conditions for a short-term stay guarantor

Let's organize the conditions for becoming a guarantor for short-term stays.

(1) Japanese

If the guarantor is a Japanese citizen with a stable income, such as a company employee or a government employee, the screening process is likely to proceed smoothly.

The income will be assessed based on tax certificates or tax payment certificates. It is preferable that the person has a solid tax payment record.

(2) Non-Japanese: You need to meet all of the following qualifications:① to ③.

① Work-related residence status

Those with residence statuses such as "Technical and Humanities Knowledge," "Management and Administration," "Highly Skilled Professional," "Skilled Labor," and "Intra-company Transferee" can become guarantors.

Those with residence statuses such as "Specified Skills No. 1," "Technical Intern Training," "Study Abroad," and "Family Stay" cannot become guarantors.

② Have a visa (residence status) for more than 3 years?

If the period of stay indicated on the residence card is more than 3 years, the person can become a guarantor.

③ Not unemployed

Even if a foreigner has a work visa, if they have quit their job and are currently unemployed, they are not suitable as a guarantor.
