Japan Resident Guide may receive compensation when a reader uses a clearly labeled commercial link. Compensation supports the site but does not guarantee placement, ranking or a positive evaluation.
Guides, comparisons, decision tools and offer selection remain on Japan Resident Guide. We do not route readers through another GYO-operated comparison site. An external click is reserved for an official source or the provider’s application or inquiry page.
We compare intended user, eligibility, required documents, payment methods, language support, essential fees, renewal and cancellation, service limits and last verification date. Commercial terms are considered only after reader suitability.
Affiliate links and paid placements receive a visible “PR” or “Affiliate” label before the click. Sponsored position does not replace an editorial comparison, and official-source links are identified separately.
We do not guarantee approval, acceptance, availability, savings, coverage, ranking results or contract outcomes. Providers and authorities make their own decisions and may change conditions.
Commercial-link measurement is limited to operational fields needed to understand performance, such as the site, page, destination, merchant, placement and offer identifier. Sensitive application answers are not included in affiliate-click events.
Readers should confirm current conditions on the provider’s final screen. Material differences should be corrected or the offer removed. Review dates indicate when our comparison was checked, not a guarantee that nothing changed afterward.
