Updated: July 2025, 12
I applied for a visa myself, but received a denial notice from the Immigration Bureau.
But I'm at a loss as to what to do...
There are many people who have these problems.
■Even though I worked hard to prepare the application documents, I was disappointed when I received a notification of rejection... What should I do?
■I tried many times, but it was always rejected. I don't know why!
■Under the current situation, if I reapply, will it be approved?
■I want to know the reason for the denial, but I don't understand if it is explained in difficult Japanese.
However, even if you receive a denial notice, you do not have to give up on your visa application.
If you check and improve the reason why your application was not approved and reapply, there is a possibility that your application will be approved.

Key points for reapplication
It is no good to reapply with the same details as when your application was rejected.
If your visa application is rejected, reapplying with the same details as last time will likely not change the outcome if the situation has not improved.
The Immigration Bureau keeps detailed records of your application.
If your explanation is similar to that of your previous application or if there are insufficient supporting documents, it is unlikely that the examiner's decision will change.
Furthermore, if you make changes to your application based on inaccurate advice from friends or acquaintances, this will result in inconsistencies with your previous application, causing the examiner to lose confidence in you.
You will be required to provide accurate, factual information, particularly when renewing your residence card, explaining the reason for extending your period of stay, renewing your family visa, or reapplying for a student visa.
When reapplying, you must thoroughly review the contents of your previous application and correct any deficiencies.
It is important to confirm the reason for visa approval
In order to get your visa approved, you need to find out exactly why your visa was rejected and rectify the cause.
Even if you reapply without checking the reason for denial, there is a high possibility that your application will be rejected again unless the previous problem is resolved.
The reason for denial can be confirmed at the Immigration Bureau where the application is submitted.
However, since examiners are not obligated to explain in detail all reasons for denial, applicants are required to proactively seek out information themselves.
It is important to understand the details of the background rather than just relying on the examiner's brief reasons, and to know exactly what needs to be fixed for your next application.
In particular, when renewing a business manager visa or applying for a specific skills visa, you will be required to provide a sufficient explanation and submit supporting documents.
How to check the details of the reason for denial
When confirming the reason for denial, it is important to remain calm, prepare specific questions, and elicit as much information as possible from the examiner, rather than protesting emotionally.
The examiner may not provide a comprehensive explanation of all the reasons for denial, and may only tell you the main reasons.
As a result, even if one reason for denial is resolved, there may be cases where permission is denied again due to other factors.
In addition, since there may be multiple factors involved, not just the reason initially given by the examiner, it is necessary to confirm all the reasons and analyze them comprehensively.
Necessary preparations before reapplication
A thorough review of your previous application and appropriate revisions are essential to a successful reapplication.
Specifically, the following points must be thoroughly checked and corrected as necessary:
- Does the information in the application match the facts?
- Are there any missing attached documents?
- Is there any part that is insufficient in the explanation?
- Do you meet all legal requirements?
- Are there any contradictions in the submitted documents?
- Have you responded appropriately to the examiner's comments?
You should also pay close attention to the requirements for each specific visa, such as submitting a Certificate of Authorized Employment and obtaining a Long-Term Resident Visa.
It is essential to review these points carefully.

Example of a re-application being approved with our support
●I applied for permanent residence, but it was rejected because I have not been in Japan for more than half a year.
●When renewing my work visa, I was denied permission because the place where I actually live and the place registered in my resident card are different.

Even if you apply with the same content that was rejected, the chances of approval are low.
