How do you make a failure into a Japanese resident?

You cannot just automatically show up, look for work without a visa/degree, and expect it to be easy. Yeah, there are those TALENT agencies for record companies. (Korea's SM hold auditions in Los Angeles often, and a man I know says also in LA there are tarento auditions from time to time.)


However, if you look at this kid's attitude, its plain he does not want to make a bigger effort. He asked in the title of the thread, "how to turn a failure into a japanese resident?" and ignored the most basic solution;

Do not be a failure.

Yea I know, the guy doesn't seem to offer much motivation if any.


Like I mentioned my example with my friend.

Of course a WHV will get you an instant job and then if you do a great job, they will get you your Visa to stay a couple more years.

When you go by Tourist, you have to try much harder but it's not at all impossible.

Esecially in this time of Japan which is the key factor here.

If you go to Sendai in this time right now, you will be able to live your life as a Japanese.

No you wont. Not for life, let alone for much longer than a year.

Because. Nyororin and others have a thread that talks about EVERYTHING you need to live in Japan as resident or citizen, and the way you go about it is not ONE of them. (And considering...you know, these people live/are from Japan, I am pretty sure their authority on the matter is much more correct than yours.)

Very, VERY lucky. As in, very rare case and the very rare exception, not the rule. He probably wont live there forever though, so lets judge the end result after a decade or so passes more.

You truly believe nothing has changed in this country this year right?

Do you know what a Nuclear Disaster is??

Nuclear Disaster changed social ways, and economic ways, along with others.

But the rules of living there are the same.

If you really want it, go to Sendai this month and you will live your Dream!!

Where do you get this information? Let me guess. In your mind, the second you get off at Sendai station, a group of scantily clad girls will walk over to you, take turns giving you a deep kiss and slip a work visa down the front of your pants?

The Tohoku area may have been hard hit this year but they're still a part of Japan and adhere to the same stipulations when it comes to issuing work visas. ie. A university degree or equivalent work experience.

Well, luckily for you, I can offer you two ways you can become a resident.

The first way is through marriage by obtaining a spousal visa. Unfortunately, you can't just marry any girl off of the street and expect to obtain this visa. You'll need someone who is financially sound and one who can vouch for you by becoming a guarantor.

Unfortunately, women who are financially sound tend to look for someone of their same status. After all, this is Japan where it's vital to keep up with the Jones. Therefore, I'd recommend that you look for a niche. For example, finding a financially successful woman with a facial disfigurement or one who is blind. Or, better yet, one with both of those issues. I'm sure they'd be more willing to lower their guard and accept a foreign companion.

Of course this will require some dedication and perseverance on your part to study the Japanese language. This may be something which you aren't willing to partake in but luckily for you, the second method will not require this.

The second method is to commit a crime in Japan. Due to the possibility of a death sentence, I'd stay away from capital offenses and stick to something like robbing the local convenience store or a manga kissa.

This would allow you become a resident of Japan. You wouldn't have to worry about finding a job, a place to stay and you'd be given 3 meals a day. All without without the hassles of obtaining a visa!

lol - that's a hilarious way to put the situation as it stands!

There's a lesson here that I hope is learned (and it has nothing to do with the 2 options presented.)
