Japan's advantages in education, healthcare, environment, welfare, and elderly care have made it a favored destination for many immigration investors. According to official data released by the Japanese government, as of June 2023, over 3.22 million foreigners are living in Japan long-term. This country, which is not traditionally known as an immigration powerhouse, has shown a significant upward trend in its efforts to attract immigrants. So, how can one quickly immigrate to Japan? Currently, the Highly Skilled Professional Visa is highly favored by investors and is one of the most convenient ways to immigrate to Japan quickly.
What is the Highly Skilled Professional Visa for Japan?
In order to promote the introduction of highly skilled foreign talent and accept more overseas professionals, the Immigration Bureau of Japan's Ministry of Justice introduced the Highly Skilled Professional Policy in 2012, launching the "Japan Highly Skilled Professional Points System" and providing preferential policies. Applicants approved for the Highly Skilled Professional Visa can obtain a 5-year residence status in Japan at once, and can apply for permanent residency in as fast as 1 year. With this visa, the entire family can enjoy Japan's generous welfare benefits.
Application Requirements
● A score of 70 or above on the Highly Skilled Professional Points System
● A realistic and sustainable business project
● An annual income of 3 million yen or more from a Japanese company
Project Advantages
● Priority approval, with approval possible in as little as 1 month
● A one-time 5-year residence visa, with the possibility to apply for permanent residency in as fast as 1 year
● Flexible entry requirements, with no age, language, or business background restrictions for applicants
● Low investment costs, with flexible investment methods; a stable business project is sufficient
● One person applies, the whole family benefits, with free access to local education, healthcare, and other welfare services
● After 5 years, applicants can apply for citizenship, and holders of a Japanese passport can travel visa-free to over 190 countries and regions
The Highly Skilled Professional Visa for Japan is a convenient pathway for quick immigration to Japan, with priority approval and the possibility to apply for permanent residency in as fast as 1 year. Scoring is based on education, work experience, age, annual income, and other factors, with a score of 70 required to apply for the visa. Interested investors are welcome to contact WorldWay Immigration for a professional assessment.
In addition, the Ordinary Business Manager Visa is also a way to immigrate to Japan. Applicants must have a stable business location in Japan, with registered capital exceeding 5 million yen; and an annual income of 2 million yen or more from a Japanese company. The initial visa is valid for 1 year, after which it can be renewed, and after five years of renewal, applicants can apply for citizenship. After ten years of renewal, they can apply for permanent residency.
In summary, both the Highly Skilled Professional Visa and the Ordinary Business Manager Visa have become preferred options for many immigrants due to their lower thresholds. Both pathways achieve immigration through establishing a company in Japan, but the application requirements and expectations for applicants differ. Applicants in need are encouraged to contact WorldWay Immigration to find the most suitable immigration plan for themselves.
