My girlfriend has always wanted to emigrate.

1. Japanese immigrants cannot apply directly outside Japan, but only for foreigners living in Japan.

2. The main steps of application are as follows:

(1), first apply for a Japanese language school or university, study as a graduate student, and get a visa to Japan. (language school 1~2-year visa)

② Studying in a university or graduate school (visa time is 2-4 years).

③ After graduation, contact the company to change from a study visa to a work visa (the first work visa is one year).

④ Second application for employment visa (the visa period is three years)

⑤ Within these three years, you can directly apply for naturalization, that is, you can give up your China nationality and join Japanese nationality directly.

6. If you don't want to become a Japanese citizen, but keep your China citizenship, then a visa that you want to obtain permanent residency in Japan is called permanent residence. This is only for people who live in Japan and have a stable income of 10. It is more difficult.

Another way is to marry a Japanese, get a spouse visa or get an investment visa directly.
