Conditions for buying a house in Japan

Japan is not an immigrant country, so you can't get a long-term visa to buy a house in Japan and you can't immigrate to Japan. You can work in Japan, marry a Japanese, get a management visa, and get a high-level talent visa. And meet the application conditions for permanent residence or naturalization: continuous residence in Japan for a certain number of years, holding a long-term visa for 3 or 5 years, no criminal record, paying taxes according to regulations, and meeting the asset income standard.

Generally speaking, Japanese immigrants generally refer to obtaining Japanese naturalization (nationality) or Japanese permanent residence (permanent residence, green card) status. Japan is a non-immigrant country. Buying a house in Japan and emigrating are two independent things, that is, buying a house in Japan cannot be directly immigrated, nor can you apply for a visa. If you want to live in Japan for a long time and obtain Japanese naturalization or permanent residency, you need to obtain a long-term Japanese visa first, and then apply for Japanese naturalization or permanent residency after meeting the conditions, so as to achieve the purpose of immigrating to Japan. So, what are the long-term visas in Japan?

I. Types of Japanese long-term visas 1. There are two ways for Japan to accept foreign students: one is that people with a certain level of Japanese can enter universities directly after passing the selection examinations of various universities. Those with poor Japanese level can first enter a Japanese school affiliated to a university or a private Japanese college, receive one or six months of Japanese preparatory education, and then enter the university after passing the national unified examination. High school graduates who have no Japanese proficiency at all but have reached a certain level of English can pass the relevant English examinations of Japanese universities to enter relevant departments, such as Waseda University, Keio University, Kyoto University and Ritsumeikan University. In addition to universities and various colleges and junior colleges, schools below high school do not accept foreign students.

After paying the three-year tax within five years, you can apply for Japanese naturalization (naturalization) in the fifth year, pay the five-year tax within ten years, and apply for permanent residence in Japan in the tenth year.

This method is only suitable for single people.

4. High-talent visa Japan officially launched the "high-talent points system" in May 20 12, trying to screen recognized high-talent foreigners through a relatively objective points system and giving preferential policies in visa, entry and exit. High-level talent visas are graded according to the requirements of education, income, working years, qualification certificate and Japanese level. Applicants with 70% or more can apply for a "high-level talent visa" from the Japan Immigration Bureau. The first visa period for a highly qualified visa is 5 years.
