In 2025, the number of tourists visiting Japan is expected to continue to grow
Since the implementation of the tourism-oriented national policy, the number of inbound tourists to Japan has been increasing year by year: in 2019, it reached 31.88 million, and in 2023, it recovered to 25.06 million. In 2024, it is expected that 33.38 million tourists will enter Japan, an increase of 33%! With the Japanese government continuing to promote the "tourism-oriented national policy," relaxing visa policies, restoring international flights, and strengthening overseas market promotion, it is expected that the total number of tourists visiting Japan in 2025 will continue to rise. Additionally, international events such as the Osaka World Expo (which opens in April 2025) may further attract global tourists to Japan. The tourism and hotel industries are expected to see increased revenues, and the profits of Japanese hotel apartments will significantly rise!
From Tourism to Immigration: Why Japan Has Become a New Choice for High-Net-Worth Families?
While the tourism industry is thriving, in recent years, Japan has attracted many immigrant investors due to its advantages in education, healthcare, environment, welfare, and elderly care. Currently, the Japan Highly Skilled Professional Visa is a convenient pathway for rapid immigration to Japan, with priority approval, allowing for permanent residency applications as soon as 1 year. Applicants are scored based on their education, work experience, age, and annual income, and those who score 70 points can apply for the visa. In this adjustment, Japan has modified the points policy for some local schools, and interested investors are welcome to contact WorldWay Immigration for a professional assessment.
Additionally, 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; the annual income of the Japanese company must be above 2 million yen. The initial visa is valid for 1 year, after which applicants can apply for renewal. After five years of renewal, they can apply for citizenship, and after ten years of renewal, they can apply for permanent residency.
