Welcome to the HSP Visa Calculator. This tool was created to demystify one of the key steps in the journey to working in Japan: understanding the points-based system for the Highly Skilled Professional (HSP) visa.

Our Mission

Navigating the requirements for a visa can be a complex and stressful process. The official information, while comprehensive, is spread across multiple documents and can be difficult to parse.

Our mission is simple: to provide a clear, user-friendly, and accessible tool that helps potential applicants quickly estimate their eligibility for the HSP visa. This project was born from a desire to create a resource that is straightforward and respects user privacy from the ground up.

Who We Are

This website was founded by an independent developer and is maintained with the help of a community of contributors. It is not affiliated with the Japanese government or any immigration body. The project is driven by a shared passion for creating helpful tools and a desire to support the community of professionals looking to build a career in Japan.

Our Approach

We believe in a user-first and privacy-first approach. Here's what that means in practice:

• Simplicity and Clarity: We've used a modern web stack, including Next.js and Mantine, to create an interface that is fast, responsive, and intuitive. Our goal is to translate the complex official criteria into an easy-to-use form.
• Privacy by Design: Your privacy is paramount. All calculations are performed directly in your browser. We do not store, save, or even see the personal or financial data you enter into the calculator. For more details, please see our Privacy Policy.
• Accuracy: We base our calculations on the official points tables published by the Japanese Immigration Services Agency. However, as this is an unofficial tool and policies can change, we urge you to always verify information with official sources.
