ppl have written 4 pages without referring to anything. it seems indeed that this forum has gathered the creme de la creme of smart ppl. anrakushi might be excluded since he/she referred to something, it didn't help though. tenchu said some clever things, but....now having come across as the arrogant bastard i am on to the question of the op.
if you are not a celebrity, a former japanese citizen or have ancestors that are/were Japanese u might want to have a look at this. How I became Japanese ....no, it is not me. and here is the law. The Nationality Law Why is it difficult to find anything official in print on how to become a Japanese citizen? Because it is case by case, my friend. while i am on it, perhaps i could continue with correcting some of the off-topic remarks too. 1. u don't get citizenship, u apply for it. 2. in reality u don't need to give up ur present citizenship, in theory however yes. 3. u don't need to be really fluent in japanese 4. There are indeed quite a couple of differences between being a permanent resident and a japanese citizen. u r allowed to vote, u don't need to carry the highly beloved alien registration card, u don't need to renew ur visa (yes, u do renew a permanent visa too), i believe u still need to get a re-entry permit if u r permanent, some professions exclude foreigners (prime example is of a korean, 在日朝鮮人, who couldn't become boss of something, or the foreigner (i forgot the nationality) who couldn't become even a volunteer fire-fighter and no need for fingerprinting every time u come back to japan (special permit residents are excluded) there r of course other differences, but the tend to be more obvious ones or unofficial. if i find anything wrong in my little essay or if u just think i am unsympathetic u can bash me all u want. lastly, jpdragon, it's そんなの関係ねぇ。just thought u wanted to know. |

haven, u could also contact a immigration solicitor (lawyer).
please be aware that that they might want to charge u for whatever help they provide u. warning, totally off-topic! perhaps i should become a more frequent visitor here. for making fun of me, u r more than welcome to do that, i have indeed deserved it. however on to the more objective responses. i have not stated anywhere that i am an expert on how to become a japanese citizen. i have no experience of it nor do i work for or as a immigration solicitor. that is why i am referring to actual sources. the law from MoJ is difficult to question i reckon u will have to agree with, the source of Mr Artwinkle (?) is i believe (!) rather trustworthy. had i been an expert i would have told it in my own words. tenchu, would u believe me if i said i wasn't? (as someone u were referring to earlier in the post) addition after tenchu replied below: tenchu, try this. compare me with the person u think i am! it seemed from the very brief description that he was arrogant and wrong, however while i am arrogant i am not wrong. anrakushi, i loved ur reply, mind if i nick it? speaking of "nick", if ppl find me arrogant, what do they think of ur nick? |
