I want to live in based JAPAN for the rest of my life but I don't have a university degree. I have a little bit of money though, is there some way I can get some sort of residency or long term visa?

>I want to live in based JAPAN for the rest of my life
Absolutely nobody who has ever said/believed that statement seriously has ever successfully followed through on it.
I know a girl that went full weeb and its been in Japan for months now, but for what I've seen on internet people do tend to reach the breaking point between 1-3 years
what made her want to leave? is it the lack of attention and soulessness of Japanese society.
She's still there, she studies japanese and seems that she works in an isakaya at night, for what I've seen she's still pretty excited of the prospect of living there, just recently she got a better department on Tokyo, but she's been there probably just since March of this year using a student visa. As far as I know she's doing everything in her power to stay there permanently
> You'll always be an outsider
Isn't like that in most countries? I haven't travelled as much as some anons here but for what I've seen only in some places of latin America the locals don't mind foreigners and even celebrate when they try to imitate their customs
>Isn't like that in most countries?
Correct. Only Western countries accept those of a different ethnicity/origin as their own, provided they speak the language decently. A white guy in Japan/Korea/China will forever be a white guy no matter how assimilated he is, while the reverse is literally everywhere in the US
It's just that of the countries that the average Westerner is enamored with and wants to live in, it's really only Japan that does not have this "culture" of being "open". So it's often a point of complaint among (attempted) expats and frequently the reason they eventually give up - they quite simply never achieve their dream of actually "becoming Japanese".
The point you mentioned about natives celebrating when the foreigner follows their customs is actually a frequently whined-about thing among expats that actually put effort into assimilating. No matter how good they are at it, Japanese (and East Asians in general) will always treat you like a toddler and go wild over seeing you observe the most basic etiquette.
>A white guy in Japan/Korea/China will forever be a white guy no matter how assimilated he is, while the reverse is literally everywhere in the US
No the frick this is not true.
I'm an African-American whose ancestry on this land goes back to before this country was even founded and I'll still be treated like an outsider compared to you wh*te homosexuals going to Europe or something.
I'd rather be treated like an outsider when I am actually an outsider, than feel that alienation in the country I was born in.
Effortless erp
Except most Japs that marry out of their race have no Job, no education and no future in Japan and so are just trying to get out. You'd be lucky to meet their parents at all.
Yup, that’s the case for the majority of those who moved to Japan because of le anime/waifus or because they spent a couple weeks there as a tourist and thought that’s how they’ll get treated forever once they move in, get a job, and actually start having to interact with some of the same people over and over again.
It’s just Paris Syndrome but in slow motion. You’ll ALWAYS be an outsider no matter how good your Japanese is or how tuned into the culture you think you are.
>You’ll ALWAYS be an outsider no matter how good your Japanese is or how tuned into the culture you think you are.
That's fine.
White people hate this because they don't know how it feels. They're used to being the "default" in the country they come from.
I think this is why I never see Black American people living in Japan say anything but positive stuff about Japan, least of all about racism, because Japanese xenophobia more or less matches the same treatment they would experience back home.
That's interesting because I hear nothing but how hard Black people have it in america due to racism 24/7 nonstop, even when they live in cities/states where they're the majority.
Yes, that's my point.
You yourself almost definitely hold some negative views on Black people too, which only further proves my point.
In America much of us feel unwelcome, even amongst our own people at times due to negative stereotypes and 24/7 media that paints a violent and hostile image of us.
In Japan no matter where I went I wasn't followed around in stores, if I felt like an outsider, It's because I am an outsider, which I'm fine with because whitey has to deal with the same thing.
It's kind of a principle thing.
I'd rather feel like an outsider in a country where I am that, versus feeling like an outsider in my own country, and It's crazy to me that I feel as though at least as a tourist, I was treated with less skepticism than in the very city where I grew up and have been living longer than all of the whiteys, hispanics, and indians who came here after me.
I miss Japan. I wish I could go back already.
you fell for the media propaganda kek
I find it funny how posters on here will gladly call all Black people Black folk and wish Black people dead, but then get offended by the idea that their western country isn't exactly friendly to Black people.
Again, I can't wait to go back to Japan.
never called you a Black person dumbass lmao, you're just falling for wall street divide and conquer propaganda and don't realize it
I lived there for three years and would have stayed, but I was working as a farmhand and not earning enough. I left for the same reason all the japs move to the cities. There's not enough money in agriculture. I might move back when I'm older, they are making it even easier for foreigners to move for such work and I'll have enough money to buy my own land. Though if they get full of blacks it probably isn't worth it.
Get married? I'm going back to college just because like you, after having visited Japan for 6 months, I definelty wanna stay there for the rest of my life. I don't care about their awful medical system or they moronic working hours, all I care about it going for a walk everyday and seeing it's magnificent city over and over again.
Be(come) a (world class) sumo wrestler/athlete.
if you are a social reject or not beneficial to the japanese economy (and by that I mean working in a field where a Japanese can't do the same job without the hassle of you being a gaijin) and don't have lot of money, you won't get visa, residency or any chance of being respected in le basedo nippon tbh.
tldr, If you didn't make it in your home country, you won't in Japan
>is there some way I can get some sort of residency or long term visa?
Yes but they're all really hard.
>Join the navy and get assigned to Japan
>Start a business in Japan
>Marry a japanese while you're here on a tourist visa
>Get rich and show the government how much money you have
>Cycle in and out on a series of tourist visas where you can't work
marry a jap girl
>I want to live in based JAPAN
Some things:
1: are attractive & white? (this matters ALOT if you're a foreigner)
2: are you NOT SE Asia/Arab/India (they fricking despise them)
You forgot literally the single most important factor in this, wealth and status.
If you want to live in Japan because you like anime/games, DO NOT.
As a Jap American I can say this: Japs don't want pathetic weebs, who think Japan is the holy land of their meaningless consoomer religion.
>Japs don't want pathetic weebs, who think Japan is the holy land of their meaningless consoomer religion
true in general but not always.
At a bar last night I met a girl who proudly declared herself otaku and was thrilled to talk to me about anime. But then we had a super awkward conversation and she left without exchanging contact info.
The real problem is that weebs in Japan are just as awkward/antisocial as in any other country, so it's hard for us to connect. and of course it's 10x harder if you don't speak Japanese.
>The real problem is that weebs in Japan are just as awkward/antisocial as in any other country, so it's hard for us to connect
Good. Stay in your parent's basement and venturing out, you're an eye sore.
Is that always the case, though? I mean, it's true that most of the stuff I like comes from Japan but it's entry level shit like Japanese cars, technology, pokemon, kaiju, persona, evangelion. I would rather be somewhere where I generally feel more at home with what I like. Everything here in bongland is bames, football and aimlessly getting pissed every weekend.
I just want to go there because it's a nicer place to be, and do the same thing I already do in London, work a 9-5 while being in a more pleasant country.
japs are looking for male porn stars
>is there some way I can get some sort of residency or long term visa?
Yes, at least 4 ways actually
>business owner visa
Easiest option, you just need 50k usd starting capital and hire 1-2 Japanese natives for your business. In practice you need a lot more capital though.
>HSP visa
Specialise in something that is rare enough to be needed (e.g. obscure hard IT shit), then based on the HSP point system you can make it without a degree
>10+ years work experience
Be able to document that much *relevant* work experience
>Spousal
Self explanatory
>>10+ years work experience
>Be able to document that much *relevant* work experience
How does that work? I've worked as a Chemical Operator for 3 years, in another 7 years I can just move to Japan just because I have 10 years of work experience? Or would I need to somehow lock down a chemical operator job and then be granted a work visa?
According to my headhunter friends there it has to do with them leaving the entry level positions for Japanese folks first, with managerial+ positions (ie 7-10 years experience) being in vacancies. It may be for nationalism or maybe they figure your lack of cultural/linguistic fluency gets outweighed by your credentials. In my opinion, the foreigner-attractive companies are international. It’s not a secret that Japan is in massive debt and strain to raise kids is only getting worse. I’d gander that since the 27-45 year old demographic is more likely to be supporting a family that there is more likelihood of them finding greener grass in another country as well, thus more opportunities for us to have the Japan experience.
Tldr 10years is where experience starts beating lack of fluency in their eyes
15 replies and nobody has informed OP that he's the perfect candidate for the Hopes and Dreams visa.
Take the next flight and PM Kishida will be waiting for you at the immigration counter of Japan International Airport.
Different anon replying to your post because i think its a good idea and i would like to hear more about it
My personal suggestion to OP is to get a degree from an unaccredited college or university .
There are schools out there that issue you a “ degree “ from their institution after you pass 1 class after a week . It’s a joke , of course , but they have the authority to issue degrees and no one can stop them , and they have official sounding names .
There are standards that some higher education committees set for universities to be considered real or “ accredited “ , but who really checks ?
Legal in a variety of states , look up degree mill schools and just get a degree . I think it will set you back about a thousand dollars .
Lastly , consider going to China instead is Japan if you like rules being relaxed , you’re almost certainly going to be considered chabuduo there ( the difference is not very much )
Good luck
BULLSHIT...Just study japanese language until you can pass their Visa exam on knowing how to read and speak japaneses. Then you can work at a Konbini or wipe old peoples asses. Japan NEEDS uneducated immigrants to work low wage jobs. If you think "leveling up your JAP career to get high paying job to obtain visa" is the solid move..its because youre a fricking idiot. Japs will always see themselves as superior to non JAP races and see their countrymen as more deserving of career level jobs.
Its that easy. Just level up your language proficiency work at Konbini then once youre in apply for a prestigious JAP university and moonlight there. JAPPO universities auto select whyte pipo to hit diversity scores to expose the JAP ruling class to westoids.
Frick everyone on this board for not calling this out sooner and posting bullshit...yur fricken dumb.
>graduate Jap Uni
>apply for jobs
>sorry this position is not for gaijin
>oh, ok
>sorry this position is not for gaijin
>yet again
>sorry this position is not for gaijin
>sorry this position is not for gaijin
>maybe next time
>sorry this position is not for gaijin
>heard that one before
>sorry this position is not for gaijin
>please leave the country
Its that simple
>I want to live in based JAPAN for the rest of my life
For what purpose? Why?
your picture already answered that
Is it worth living in Japan to escape Brazil? Would you? Or is it that bad?
Don't be a loser in your home country. They don't want losers.
Saw some white man working at familymart a few days ago. Sad as frick lmao.
>but I don't have a university degree
> is there some way I can get some sort of residency or long term visa?
no
even if you meet a jap girl in your home country, marry her and both move to Japan what are you going to do for work?
you're not qualified to do shit and japs wont hire a gaijin for anything that isnt english teaching. at best you'll be an $8/hr bartender in some shitty foreigner's bar in osaka or something while she regrets ever marrying you
Do you really need a bachelors degree to get a job in Japan? Seems cucked that I have to get a useless piece of paper when I already work in a high demand field for well over 6 figures.
if I'm already a social reject with no families and friends living in shithole town america would living in japan actually be a step up
Then you'd not only be a social reject but a cultural reject. They also plant drugs in social reject bags in Japan and that's a hefty sentence over there.
Degree requirements are fricking dumb. You want me to be 50k+ in debt for a piece of paper above all else? Wouldn't that be bad for someone moving there and trying to support themself?
Hahahaha Americans are so stupid. In total I'll be paying about 400$ for my 3 years long programming degree.
>for the rest of my life
Very few people move to a foreign country for the rest of their life. You'll spend 2, 5 or 10 years there before eventually getting fed up and going home.
