Huh? How exactly do you propose to emigrate anywhere (such as the US) without a job? You can't just show up in some country, get a bank account and an apartment, and start living life there. If you want to move to the US, you need corporate sponsorship there too, to get a work visa, which is the same in pretty much every developed nation. There are some ways around it, such as "investor's visas" (for very rich people), and spousal visas, but we're not talking about those kind of people. (Also, unlike the US with its EB5 investor visa, Japan doesn't have any such thing. There is a new "digital nomad" visa I think though, but it's very new and I don't know anything about it.)
- Suppafly 2y agoYou might need a company to sponsor the job in the US, depending on your visa, but you don't need them to help you deal with basic contracts and services like renting an apartment or opening a bank account. That's just comparing to the US. People move all around Europe without needing a company to help them get an apartment and setup basic accounts for utilities and bank accounts.
- shiroiushi 2y agoYou don't need a company to sponsor you for a bank account in Japan either, but if you just moved into the country, they do want to know who your employer is. Same for landlords: why would anyone rent you an apartment if you don't have an income? Where did you get the idea that you need your company to help you set up a bank account? I was able to do it easily at 2 banks all by myself.
