Potentially. Eligible visa-waiver nationals may qualify for the designated activities route for long-term sightseeing and recreation, subject to age, savings, insurance, purpose and other criteria. It ordinarily provides six months, with a possible extension up to a maximum total of one year.

No. Savings above JPY 30 million relate to one particular temporary long-stay route, not permanent residence. Permanent residence has separate eligibility requirements and is not granted simply because someone is wealthy.

Your passport nationality must be eligible under the relevant visa-waiver framework, in addition to meeting the other criteria. A UAE residence permit alone is not enough. We review your nationality and intended activity first.

This depends on the status. The wealthy sightseeing/recreation long-stay program contains special rules for spouses but does not allow dependent children to accompany under that same scheme. Certain employment and business statuses may allow eligible spouse and child applications under a separate family-related category.

No. Purchasing Japanese property does not automatically grant a status of residence or permanent residence. Immigration permission depends on a qualifying activity or other legally recognized basis.

Investment or capitalization by itself is insufficient. The revised standards generally require qualifying capital or business scale, at least one eligible full-time employee, appropriate Japanese-language capability, the applicant's relevant qualifications or experience, genuine premises, and a properly assessed business plan, among other requirements.

Company formation may be possible subject to the applicable corporate and practical requirements. However, company incorporation and immigration permission are separate. We can assist with appropriate administrative documentation and coordinate with an authorized professional for commercial registration where necessary.

Possibly, where the intended Japanese activity and the applicable academic, career, salary or other requirements are satisfied. These routes are not unconditional investor visas, and we review the actual work and eligibility before recommending an application.

Do not assume remote work is permitted under a sightseeing or recreation status. Japan has separate rules for permitted activities, and some remote-work scenarios may involve distinct immigration categories. Obtain an individual assessment before making plans.

A change from Temporary Visitor status is restricted and is not a standard substitute for planning the correct route before entry. Specific legal conditions and exceptional circumstances must be assessed before any application.

Not necessarily. We accept inquiries from the UAE and can discuss documents remotely. Whether an in-person step or a Japan-based applicant is needed depends on the procedure, filing requirements and case circumstances.

No guaranteed approval is offered. Fees are quoted individually after reviewing the proposed work. We explain the professional fee, likely third-party expenses and proposed scope before you decide whether to engage us.

Foreign-language documents submitted for Japanese immigration procedures generally require Japanese translations. Which documents and any notarization or authentication requirements apply depend on the application.

We address immigration and administrative documentation within our licensed scope. Tax filings, property brokerage, commercial registration, investment regulation and other specialist matters must be handled by appropriately qualified professionals where required.
