Yes, this is correct, I am holding Japanese permanent residence permit (EU, Austrian citizen) since 1986, conditions are totally different compared with that of Thailand.

Japan does not care about money, fee is only about 3000 baht (8000 yen)

You need 15 years in Japan, but if you are married with a Japanese (man/woman does not matter now, same conditions), time might be shorten 1:3, this means minimum 5 years, and if living overseas, but legally registered as married to a Japanese by Japanese law, time is considered 1:2 - my 6 years overseas marriage with my Japanese wife 1976 was considered as 3 years waiting time.

Same rule is valid, if you have minor children holding Japanese citizenship.

Japan does not like to offer citizenship and does not accept dual citizenship except minors (they try always to offer PR first, which is not bad at all) - PR right includes buying your own land, house, operating your business, no labour permit required, for lifetime, permission to move out of Japan up to 3 years to overseas (reporting and re-entry required, you get 3 years multiple entry), registration renewal for ID and passport check only 1 time for 7 years...all in all except voting rights, some restriction for special professions, some few limitations, it is almost like Japanese citizenship.

As Japanese PR you also have the right for sponsorship to invite other foreigners as visitors, you may sign bank loans, housing loans...

You are in the Japanese social insurance system and so on....

However criminal offence will cause annullation of the PR and deportation (but only if your sentence is over 1 year in prison, not for small offences)

You get an ID card for PR (all registered foreigners are obliged to carry ID cards), entering Japan or leaving Japan you go through customs/passport check in the Japanese citizen lane, no need to line up with the other foreigners.

Conditions next posting, otherwise people here will tell me it is too long.

I go tomorrow to Thailand, so maybe next posting is already from Jomtien...

Hi Johann,

If you want to meet up, e-mail me! Thanks to your advice I'm still in Thailand instead of working in a new career in Japan for loads of cash.

Interesting to see that Japan doesn't need to use finance as a consideration in their residency requirements, unfortunately money is valued over anything else in Thailand.

Happy holidays!
