Q: Does Japan have a retirement visa, or how can I best stay in Japan?
A: Great question! Japan, despite its appeal to retirees, doesn't offer a specific "retirement visa." However, don't let that discourage you! There are several pathways for extended stays in this beautiful country.
For retirees, the most viable options typically include:
Long-term resident visa: While not specifically for retirees, it's sometimes granted to those with strong ties to Japan.
Investor/Business Manager visa: If you're interested in investing in or starting a business in Japan, this could be your ticket to a longer stay.
Highly Skilled Professional visa: For those still interested in working, this visa favors experienced professionals in specialized fields.
Spousal visa: If you're married to a Japanese national, this is often the simplest route.
Remember, each of these options has specific requirements and considerations. The key is to identify which aligns best with your skills, resources, and long-term goals in Japan.
In the meantime, many retirees start with extended tourist stays. Most nationalities can visit for up to 90 days at a time, potentially allowing up to 180 days per year with a break in between.
Ultimately, retiring in Japan requires careful planning and often a bit of creativity. But with the right approach, you can make your dream of calling Japan home a reality!
At JHD, we strongly recommend doing an extended visit in the areas you are interested in before purchasing. An exploratory vacation can help solidify your decision making process. Everyone has specific needs and wants. Feel free to ask us which areas we think would best match you.
