Third, the ways and means of applying for Japanese immigration

On the basis of Japanese communication, you may start by studying in Japan, then find a stable job in Japan and live in Japan in a down-to-earth manner until you meet the conditions for permanent residence or naturalization in Japan.

It is also a way to "touch relatives and bring old friends" with Japan. If you are destined to have a Japanese spouse and live in Japan, you will also have the opportunity to meet the conditions of permanent residence or naturalization in Japan.

There are still two visa routes to take.

The first is the Japanese management visa.

In order to boost Japan's economy, attract talents to start businesses in Japan and welcome overseas people who have settled in Japan, the Japan Immigration Bureau launched an investment business visa in 2006. 20 15 changed its name to business management visa, encouraging people who set up companies in Japan and really manage them to realize the opportunity of living in Japan for a long time.

Applicants need to set up a company (joint-stock company or contract company) in Japan, with a registered capital of not less than 5 million yen and unlimited business scope, and can apply for a business management visa from the Japan Immigration Bureau. The first visa period is one year, and it will be renewed for one year, three years or five years according to the company's operation. Applicants need to pay taxes when they hold a business management visa. After paying taxes for three years within five years, you can apply for Japanese naturalization (naturalization) in the fifth year. After paying taxes for five years in ten years, you can apply for permanent residence in Japan in the tenth year (permanent residence, green card). The premise is that the applicant can't leave Japan for more than half a year and not more than three months at a time, otherwise he will not be regarded as a Japanese tax resident and his years cannot be accumulated.

Followed by Japan's high-level talent visa (business management).

In May, 20 12, Japan officially launched the points system for high-level talents, trying to screen out high-level talents recognized by foreigners through the relatively objective points system, and giving preferential policies in visa, entry and exit, etc. According to the requirements of the applicant's education, income, working years, qualification certificate, Japanese ability, etc., applicants with 70% or more can apply for a high-level talent visa to the Japan Immigration Bureau. The first visa period for high-quality talents is five years. Applicants with more than 70% can apply for permanent residence in Japan after three years, and applicants with more than 80% can apply for permanent residence in Japan after one year at the earliest.
