MOVING TO JAPAN

Moving to Japan offers diverse insights into another world, making it no surprise that more and more Germans are looking to find their fortune in Japan. German nationals staying in the country for up to 90 days do not need a visa for Japan – only a valid passport is required. The residence permit can later be extended upon request by registering at the relevant residents’ registration office. Those who know before entering Japan that they wish to stay longer should apply for a visa from the Japanese embassy or consulate before departure. Visas are differentiated between work, student, intern, and spouse visas. There is also a specific visa available for working holidays. To obtain permanent residency status, one must either be married to a Japanese citizen or have lived in Japan for at least ten years. Even then, permanent residency is not guaranteed.

Those considering emigrating to Japan should be aware that the cost of living in Japan is very high. Moving to Japan only makes sense if there is either a good job offer or sufficient financial resources available. If you are lucky enough to find a promising position in Japan, the local employer usually takes care of everything essential. Unfortunately, the Japanese job market is generally not very open to foreign workers. Those considering working in Japan should first try with German multinational companies. Engineers, IT specialists, and financial experts have the best chances of finding a job. Personal belongings can generally be imported from Germany to Japan duty-free, provided they are not new goods. For faster processing, it is advisable to include copies of invoices. Moreover, a detailed packing list in multiple languages must be attached to the transport goods. For us, the complex move from Germany to Japan is no problem.
