Requirements for immigrating to Japan

Japanese immigrants have the following requirements:

1. Those who have lived in Japan continuously for more than 5 years generally cannot exceed 3 months, and the cumulative period of 1 year cannot exceed 180 days.

2. At least 20 years of age (when applying at the same time with parents or one of their parents, the age of the child is not limited), with legal capacity.

3. Abide by Japanese laws and regulations, have no criminal record, and have no traffic violations.

4. Have enough income or assets to maintain life, with an annual income of not less than 2 million yen.

5. Have the obligation to pay taxes, and have no arrears in annuity and insurance.

6. Be able to communicate with Japanese in normal spoken English.

There are six basic conditions for applying for Japanese nationality:

1. Capability conditions

The applicant must be at least 20 years old and have the adult capacity as stipulated by domestic laws. However, children who apply together with adult parents can be exempted from the ability condition of over 20 years old. Because at this time, the child's application is based on the premise that the parents apply for permission.

2. Accommodation conditions

The applicant has lived in Japan continuously for more than 5 years. This is the most basic condition, that is, the applicant must have lived in Japan for more than five years. If he doesn't meet this requirement, he is not eligible to apply. Of course, applicants must have legal residence qualifications. The applicant's temporary departure from Japan or change of residence will not affect the application. For example, if you invest and start a company in Japan, you can apply for Japanese nationality if the company lasts for 5 years and is profitable.

3. Living conditions

Applicants and their spouses have sufficient assets and skills to make a living. This is mainly to prevent people who may become a burden to the public from acquiring Japanese nationality.

4. Behavior conditions

The applicant has good conduct and no illegal acts. This is also the basic condition for acquiring Japanese nationality. After the general application is accepted, the applicant's daily life, economic activities, professional status, social activities, whether to pay taxes, whether to violate criminal or administrative regulations, etc. will be investigated.

5. Illegal group conditions

Applicants are not allowed to join or form groups or political parties with similar views that attempt to destroy the Japanese government by violence. This is a natural condition for safeguarding national security. Not only Japan, the United States and other countries have the same regulations.

6. Conditions for preventing dual nationality

The applicant has no nationality. If yes, the applicant needs to give up his original nationality when acquiring Japanese nationality. This condition is mainly due to the principle of unique nationality, and a person cannot have two nationalities at the same time. Therefore, when applying for Japanese nationality, China people must go to the China Embassy to go through the formalities of renouncing China nationality after obtaining the approval of the Japanese Minister of Justice.
