So I take it you don't have a college degree or work in the software field like most people here.
It's true: if you have no skills and work as a barista or janitor, Japan isn't very interested in having you immigrate here. If you're a skilled tech professional, however, it's the easiest country in the world to immigrate to. Experienced software engineers can easily score 70-80 points. With 80, you can apply for permanent residence in 1 year.
- nibbleshifter 4y agoI have a degree and 10+ years in tech. I redid it today, and now have 85 points. Amusingly, I just did some back of the envelope maths and worked out I could probably bump that to over 120 points in 2 years if I set my mind to it. As for "easiest", no. I've moved a lot, there's many countries that are far easier :)
- midoridensha 4y agoI don't know of any highly developed nations where you can easily get permanent residence in less than 1 year.
