Applying for a Japanese Residence Status (visa)

There are 29 different types of Residence Status (visa) available for moving to Japan, of which applying for a Residence Status (visa) for 'Business Manager’ and running a Japanese company is a good way to go.

 

If you want to work in Japan and do not want to run a company, then you can apply for a ‘Technology, Humanities and International Business’ Residence Status (visa).

 

What about your family? Please be assured that family members can apply for a Family Status of Residence (visa) and live in Japan together.

 

Once you have obtained one of these visas, you can apply for permanent residency or become a naturalised Japanese citizen and obtain a Japanese passport if you are eligible.

 

Alternatively, if you are eligible, you can apply for a 'Highly-Skilled Foreign Professional’ Residence Status (visa) and apply for permanent residence after a minimum stay of one year.
