If it is found that the acquisition of this asset conflicts with the laws of any country, the Immigration Bureau has the right to refuse the visa.

EOI immigration intention application
Similar to skilled immigrants, from July 30th, parents are required to submit an application for migration intention (EOI), and the Immigration Bureau will issue an invitation letter to make a preliminary evaluation of the submitted EOI. After receiving the invitation letter, the applicant needs to submit a formal application within 4 months. After reviewing the comprehensive materials, the Immigration Department will make a final decision on the application.
Immigration has the right to investigate the authenticity of the application at EOI stage.
EOI selection order
1. According to the order of submission, the first priority is "Class I" immigration intention.
2. 2. Priority is given to family immigrants submitted before May 20 16 12, and the order of submission shall prevail.
