About Us | Japan Highly Skilled Professional Points Calculator

Welcome to Japan Visa Points (HSP Calculator). We provide international professionals, researchers, IT engineers, and entrepreneurs with authoritative, transparent, and completely free evaluation tools for Japan's Highly Skilled Professional (HSP / 高度専門職) points-based visa system.

Our Mission & Value

Japan's Highly Skilled Professional immigration framework offers exceptional benefits—including fast-track Permanent Residency (PR) in as little as 1 year (80 points) or 3 years (70 points), preferential spousal employment rights, and parent sponsorship. However, navigating complex statutory criteria across Category (a) Academic Research, Category (b) Technical/Specialist, and Category (c) Business Management often creates significant confusion.

Our core objectives are:

• Demystify Immigration Points: Providing an intuitive, accurate 3-minute simulation tool that helps global talents assess their qualification standing.
• In-Depth Policy Analysis: Offering rigorous, updated guides covering 2026–2027 immigration reforms, real estate asset considerations, and tax/pension compliance standards.
• Global Accessibility: Delivering complete multilingual experiences across 8 languages (English, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Filipino, and Nepali).

Authoritative Data Sources

All calculation algorithms, scoring tables, and guides on this website are directly formulated from official publications released by Japanese government authorities:
