1, study visa

There are two ways for Japan to accept foreign students: one is that people with a certain level of Japanese can go directly to universities to study after the selection examinations of various universities. Those with poor Japanese level can first enter a Japanese school affiliated to a university or a private Japanese college to receive one or one and a half years of Japanese preparatory education, and then enter the university after passing the national unified examination. High school graduates who have no Japanese level at all but have reached a certain level of English can enter relevant departments through relevant English tests in Japanese universities; For example, Waseda University, Keio University, Kyoto University and Ritsumeikan University. In addition to universities and various colleges and junior colleges, schools below high school cannot accept foreign students.

2. Work visa

The official name of Japan's work visa is the international business visa for technical and humanistic knowledge, which mainly includes three years and five years. Whether you are studying in Japan (going to school) or directly looking for a suitable enterprise to work in Japan, you can stay in Japan in the form of a work visa, and you need to pay taxes if you hold a work visa. After paying the three-year tax within five years, you can apply for Japanese naturalization (naturalization) in the fifth year, pay the five-year tax within ten years, and apply for permanent residence in Japan (permanent residence, green card) in the tenth year. The premise is that the applicant cannot leave Japan for more than half a year or more than three months at a time, otherwise he will not be regarded as a Japanese tax resident and cannot accumulate years.

3. Japanese spouse visa

If you marry a Japanese, you can get a Japanese spouse visa and finally get permanent residency in Japan (permanent residence, green card) or naturalization (naturalization). This method is only suitable for single people. Even if you come to Japan with a work visa, a business management visa, etc. And then get to know a Japanese spouse and get married, you can change your Japanese spouse visa.

4. Japan's high-level talent visa

In May of 20 12, Japan officially launched the "high-talent points system", trying to screen recognized high-talent foreigners through a relatively objective points system and giving preferential policies in visa, entry and exit. High-level talent visas are graded according to the requirements of education, income, working years, qualification certificate and Japanese level. Applicants with 70% or more can apply for a "high-level talent visa" from the Japan Immigration Bureau. The first visa period for high-quality talents is 5 years. Applicants with 70% or more can apply for permanent residence in Japan after three years (permanent residence, green card), and applicants with 80% or more can apply for permanent residence in Japan after one year at the earliest.

5. Japanese business management visa

Japan has set up a management visa to welcome overseas people who have settled in Japan. The applicant is required to set up a company (joint-stock company or contract company) in Japan, with a registered capital of not less than 5 million yen. The business scope is not limited and can be diversified. The first visa period is one year, and it will be renewed for one year, three years or five years according to the company's operation. Applicants need to pay taxes when they hold a business management visa. After paying taxes for three years in five years, you can apply for Japanese naturalization in the fifth year, pay taxes for five years in ten years, and apply for permanent residence in Japan in the tenth year (permanent residence, green card).
