The requirements in Japan are tougher than those in America. Japan does not grant green cards or citizenship. At the most, you'll be given a work visa if you qualify for one (4 year college degree, sponsorship from an employer from inside Japan, etc.). After 5 to 7 years of living in Japan you can apply for permanent residency, which they may or may not grant.

Working illegally in Japan is not as easy as it is in America. In America you can get a job with a phony Social Security number, and open a Bank of America checking account with a bogus Mexican ID (these are available all over Mexico and the border states for about $70. I got one for my dog to prove a point to a friend who said that Mexican ID cards should be considered legal identification).

In Japan there is a telephone number you can call to report a suspected illegal immigrant, and the immigration service is quick to follow up on those calls. In America it's hard to get immigration to come and pick up illegal aliens being held in jail on felony charges.

If you want to live in Japan one day, you'd better finish school (your English is about 3rd grade level, what country are you from?), keep your record clean, and get into college. You should do these things even if you don't come to Japan.
