On the issue of obtaining permanent residency in Japan.

1. Japan is a non-immigrant country. At present, there are only two naturalization methods:

1, marry a Japanese

2. Obtain permanent residency 10 years or more.

If foreigners want to obtain permanent residency in Japan, they must live in Japan for ten consecutive years. The "high-ability talent scoring system" implemented in Japan scores professional knowledge and technology, and can identify foreigners with academic qualifications, resumes and annual income of over 70 as high-ability talents. After being recognized, in order to obtain permanent residency in Japan, the continuous residence time in Japan can be shortened from ten years to five years.

Two, the biggest difference between permanent residence and naturalization is:

Permanent residents maintain their original nationality and enjoy the same obligations and rights as Japanese citizens except the right to vote and stand for election.

Three, China people living legally in Japan mainly have the following four groups:

1. Descendants of old overseas Chinese. These old overseas Chinese have often lived in Japan for three or four generations, up to seven generations. Their ancestors immigrated to Japan from China in the Qing Dynasty or the Republic of China before the Taisho era in Japan, so they have the right of permanent residence in Japan.

2. Students studying in Japan. In modern China, especially after the reform and opening up, a large number of Japanese went to study in Japan at public expense and at their own expense. Many international students choose to work in Japan after graduation, and can gradually apply for permanent residence in Japan after several years of stable work.

3. Japanese spouse. This may be the fastest way for China people to immigrate to Japan. If you marry a Japanese or marry a Japanese, you can apply for a "Japanese spouse" visa after going through the legal formalities for marriage.

4. Stay in Japan after work. This is a little different from the second point, that is, you don't have to study in Japan first. If a Japanese university or company is willing to hire you for a certain position, you can apply for a "professor" or "international knowledge/humanities business" or "internal transfer" visa. Similarly, when you have worked in Japan for a certain number of years, you can apply for permanent residence in Japan.

Fixed residence visas are mainly made up of Japanese spouses, or spouses of people who hold Japanese permanent residence visas, or Japanese orphans who come to Japan, or minors who come to Japan with their parents and get married in Japan. Like work visas and study visas, they need to renew after their stay. The term of a fixed visa is generally three years, and it needs to be renewed after the expiration. You can apply for a permanent residence visa if you get a second three-year visa.
