- Everything You Need to Know About Acquiring Japanese Citizenship!
Naturalization in Japan consists of three types, namely,
・Ordinary Naturalization for the general working visa holders which includes non-married foreigners and also those who are married to another foreigner;
・Simplified Naturalization for those who are married to a Japanese national, Koreans in Japan and special permanent residents; and
・“Great Naturalization” for those with a proven track record in sports, science and such.
In today’s video, I will be discussing about ordinary naturalization applications, explaining to you in-depth about each of the conditions, documents required, processing time, approval rate and more so please watch until the end!
*Update (18th January):
One of the basic conditions of the Nationality Law, which states, "Continuous residence in Japan for five years or more." has several interpretations across the net from different immigration lawyers on whether residency under the "student visa" counts or not. We have consulted with 2 immigration lawyers (one law office has over 11 years of experience!) who later confirmed the inclusion.
Though we have done extensive research on every video we produce, all information provided are for general information only and does not constitute legal advice.
We highly suggest seeking legal and professional advice directly as every case is different.

Hi, thanks a lot for the all informations you get to us. Very helpfull video. I have just a question. during the difficult coronavirus time, I coudn't continues my studies, (i have been attended just for a 1 year) but I could keep working in a combini until now. (but not as a full time).
Then, Because I couldn't come back in Italy, my visa status voice has been changed by " student visa" to "designated activities" and I could renwed it for almost 3 years. Now I am finally ready to attend the school again and I am thinking to attend at least 2 years. So my question is: do you think I would be able to qualify this requirement to get the naturalization? (of course counting as positives all the others requirements too)
( sorry for the long message)
Thanks a lot.
Very informative video. Thank you very much. I have one thing to know. My husband's neutralization process is going on. And we both have to face an interview. ( only my husband apply for the visa) Im not good at japanese. Is that a minus point?
That’s magnificent ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hello. I just need a clarification on the number of years of residency. I heard that when one applies for permanent residency, one should have lived in Japan for 10 years. For Japanese citizenship, it is only 5 continuous years? Did I understand it correctly? The residence requirement for citizenship is shorter than for permanent residency? Your response will be much appreciated. Anyway, it is good to hear that even if it requires 5 continuous years, you can still go home to your country for no longer than 3 months. By the way, I am half Japanese, do you have a video that discusses how a half Japanese could acquire citizenship?
Love it..
This is really helpful I’m in the USA 🇺🇸 right now but I’m planning on going to Japan 🇯🇵

You are welcome
Can I start gathering some of the documents before I hit the 5 years requirement of living in Japan? As some of the documents take long such as those from home country.
Hi! Thank you for this informative video.
I want to ask anyway if what if my salary is lower than 180000 yen, does that mean i’m not qualified to apply for naturalization? I’ve met all the other requirements though, except for this one.
Thank you for watching our video about Acquiring Japanese Nationality. The monthly salary is just a general guideline for the minimum requirements but the final decision of whether you are eligible for the application or not is from the MOJ. That being said, I would suggest consulting with them directly. You can book an appointment from the link below:
houmukyoku.moj.go.jp/tokyo/table/shikyokutou/all/hokyokutouki.html
Good luck with your application!
Applications available online? Or, paper applications? From the Ministry of Justice, or from the local Ward Office?
Thanks for sharing very informative!
I don’t know about your nationality but if you are a Japanese national by birth I don’t believe in the system that they are running this country using different tools ⚒️ against foreign residents no matter harassment by police 👮♀️ systematically or harassment by doctors in hospitals 🏥 but ward offices are very helpful and polite except ward offices I think whole the country is under control of some hidden hands 🙌 that are behind the curtains running the system I am living since 30 years in Japan 🇯🇵 my wife is Japanese we have a child after marriage I am a permanent resident but I don’t see any difference between me and a foreigner who arrived just a week ago for any purpose no matter he or she came here for sightseeing 😂 we are same our status is same these are only tricky practices that we respect foreigners I don’t believe . This country is only for pure blood 🩸 Japanese nationals not for foreigners,my best friend got Japanese nationality after a long time he needed to apply for a job and he got it as a logistic driver but they treated him as a foreigner because they were not ready to give him some medicines to load on his vehicle from Yokohama to Shizuoka ? So what you are talking about citizenship or nationality or naturalization?? I am not going to accept any kind of nationality of Japan 🇯🇵 when I have a long experience in Japan my whole adult life is over in Japan but I thought I was wrong moved here and started my life even my wife she is original Japanese but she got harassment at work so bad that she did quit work voluntary , so this is my advice to the foreigners that come Japan 🇯🇵 but before come here think not twice or thrice but a hundred times because based on my long experience this is very non welcoming land for any being whose forefathers are not from this land Japan is not Europe or USA 🇺🇸 a very different phenomenon I don’t say it even a country but a phenomenon that this planet 🌎 has ever experienced. So welcome Japan 🇯🇵 but at your own risk ⚠️ there is even no life guarantee in hospitals 🏥 that is my experience there is no human right office if there should be it is a dummy office you will not find any body or staff there phone is ringing but no attender ?? I was surprised, I would like to be national of Ghana 🇬🇭 or Bolivia or even a small island somewhere in the pacific but not in Japan 🇯🇵 that is my experience. A country where there is no guarantee of life in a hospital 🏥 for an injured person so you are coming in this trap I am sorry I am not against Japan 🇯🇵 or lovely Japanese common people they are fine I am talking against the system. You have to change your system then call ☎️ the people oh please come here this is a place you will be in peace ☮️ I am a book of history of Japan how brutal the system is 😨😨
Very informative. Thanks
Hello! Thanks for the information. My question is, if I’m married to a Japanese National and we are both freelancers, but we DO earn more than the minimum requirement per month, does that mean I’m still eligible for japanese nationality?
How did it go?
i am here as a student 4 years and now working as full time for a year , can i apply now or should wait ?
Thank you so much for your information.I have a question. I came in Japan as a student in 2014 and during my senmon because of some reason I went for refugee visa. But last year in 2020 I changed my visa from refugee to working again. And now I am in Working visa. So is there any possibility if I can apply for PR after some years.?
Hi Kiran. The requirements of the PR visa are very different from that of the Nationality but to answer your question, it is possible for your to apply and be considered for PR in Japan, as long as you meet the conditions.
If you need more information about the PR application, please see this link:

Good luck on your future application!

Thank you for watching, Lika! :)
I have been living in Japan for about 21 years and acquired my permanent residence about 15 years ago. I have a stable full-time job and no criminal record. The longest period of time I left Japan was for one month. My downfall is that I still cannot write kanji or speak fluent Japanese. My ex-wife is a Japanese citizen and have 3 children with Japanese nationality. My eldest child is 22 years and featured as a member of theJapanese U-21 national team. He now plays in the J league for Sendai Vegalta.
How is my stand in view of applying for a Japanese citizenship?
Hi Kofi. Thank you for your comment.
One of the conditions when applying for Japanese naturalization is the Japanese fluency of "more than the level of lower grades of primary school", however, based on the information you have provided, I think you qualify for permanent residency. With PR, there is no language requirement, but they would require a moral guarantor.
Perhaps, an immigration lawyer can provide you a more accurate advice?
@@swimmychannel3029 My friend and his wife are foreigners and got Japanese citizenship just because their daughter acquired a Japanese citizenship as a member of the national basketball team.
This couple is neither fluent in Japanese nor can write.
Is there a special consideration or preference in the award of Japanese citizenship to some SPECIAL foreigners?
I want to apply but I'm not fluent in nihonggo
What if a student studying for 6 years?
Thank you so much....do i need an attorney for applying for it?
Thank you very much
You're welcome! :) Good luck on your application!

Question: is it allowed to apply Japanese citizenship even though the person is holding only a 1year long term residency? But staying in japan for 6 years. It just happened that she changed status that is why it went back to 1yr visa from 3yrs spouse visa.
Hi Jen. For long term visa holders, it is possible to apply to Permanent Residency after 5 years of continuous residency with this visa.
Hi, I have a friend who are married to Japanese woman and he wants to apply for a naturalization in Japan but he's not working or the the company fired them because of the pandemics and now they want to apply a naturalization, do you think they can get a Japanese citizenship or Japanese nationality?
Im living in Japan since childhood and have PR since than, now i am planning on applying for the passport but 3 years ago i got a red traffic ticket for over speeding, will i have problems because of that ??
Do you have to pick kanji’s for your name in Japanese? Or is it ok to choose katakana and hiragana?
After obtaining citizenship, the bureau will be providing a guide with regards to deciding on a Japanese name. :) Please also check this link for more information:

Yes you can choose katana.

I living here in japan for 20year i want to be a japanese citizenship but is very difficult for me to right kanji and to read little read of kanji i can but to right is very difficult. Why is not easy to be a japanese citizenship without knowledge or not to read and right kanji ?
Thank you for sharing this important information. I have a question here though.. I heard that if I was residing on a student visa then the period I have been staying in Japan as a student does not count..
I studied for 2 years and I began working immediately after graduation, do I qualify for the ordinary naturalization application after a total of 5 years stay (2 years as a student and another 3 years of work in Japan)?
Hi Baraa. It is possible.
Based on the legal advice we have received, our lawyer says that it is important to have worked at least 3 years as a full time, contractual, or dispatched employee (as long as you were on a working visa) and may include 2 years on a student visa.
Since every case is different, I would suggest seeking professional legal advice.
That's also my concern.
I'm in my fifth year(If the time spent as student is counted) and wanting to apply for naturalization. But upon checking the Immigration website it's not include. I suggest you double check everything and redo the video it's misleading.
@@user-he6bi2jx4i The Nationality Act requires an applicant to have "① Continuous residence in Japan for five years or more." At the time of our initial research, many immigration lawyers had a different interpretation on this condition. So, we went to 2 lawyers who later on affirmed that the time under a student visa can be considered. I would suggest seeking legal advice on your case and wish you the best of luck!
Also added a notation with this condition, appreciate your feedback!
@@swimmychannel3029 Thank you for the response.
I don't know what to think anymore. IMMIGRATION is saying it's not included and they even emphasize it on thier website while IMMIGRATION LAWYER is saying it's included.
If I have money to waste then I'll try but since I don't so I'll just wait another 2 years.
@@user-he6bi2jx4i May I ask which Immigration website are you referring to?
All naturalization applications are processed by the Ministry of Justice...please see their official link here, www.moj.go.jp/ENGLISH/information/tnl-01.html
I have seen some immigration lawyers offering free consultations (initial), maybe you can find one that can provide a service to best suit your case and eventually lead you towards a solid application in the future.
Not finding the permanent residency information video. Also what do you mean change name to japanese? You mean to katakana or make your namr change to kanji?
Thank you for watching the video!
Please check out the Permanent Residency video here:
th-cam.com/video/uYyeKkBjQyg/w-d-xo.html
After successfully obtaining Japanese citizenship, you are required to have a name in Japanese in kanji (with the given name is katakana if you choose to decide to).
Im working in japan for 3 years after that back to my country for 5 months and then back in japan for another 2 years ,is there any possibility to apply naturalization?
Hi Zac. There seemed to be a possibility after working for a few years more. Please see the basic conditions, particularly on the minimum years of residency here, 02:17 Basic conditions for the naturalization application. Thank you for watching!
How about if you're "child of japanese visa" holder , in the right age? How?
can you make videos about insurances which is better and not needed here in japan, videos about getting a house here in japan? please.
Hi Verna! Thank you for the video requests! I will do some research and find out more. :)
@@swimmychannel3029 thank you for reading my comment, hope to hear from you soon. god bless
Hello swimmy, can you suggest any lawyer or organization who guide or support for naturalization apply process?
Hi Cha Na Ka, at this time, I am unable to recommend any lawyer but I can suggest
going to your nearest "法務局（ほうむきょく）or Bureau of Legal Affairs for free consultation by clicking on the Excel file posted on the link below (site is in Japanese):
www.moj.go.jp/MINJI/kokuseki.html
Or do the application yourself (under the guidance of the Burea of Legal Affairs and perhaps a Japanese friend if you are not confident with your Japanese skills) by following this extensive guide written by those who previously applied for citizenship themselves:
www.turning-japanese.info/p/intro.html
Should you still opt to get a lawyer, there are many paralegals on the internet with free initial consultation to help you decide which one to get.
Now my biggest question everything sounds alright to me but do I have to have a japhanese family member if not everything should be ok
Hi can you give us more details about refugee visa, thanks in advance
Thank you for the wonderful suggestion! We will make some research and update you again when we have!
I have a question. I'm an American citizen. In the 1960's I married a Japanese lady in Japan, and our marriage was registered in Japan. I also found out later that this information appears on my wife's family register in Yamagata ken where her family is from. Unfortunately my wife has since passed away in the U.S. after more than 50 years of marriage. Would the fact that my wife was originally a Japanese citizen when we got officially married in Japan allow me to apply for permanent residency in Japan, if that is what I wanted to do? I'm currently retired. Thank you.
You should ask city office in you’re Yamagata Ken they will guide you differently I am living in Fukuoka
Hello there. Thank you very much for your explanation. I wanted to ask: the personal finance of ¥200,000 per month, does it have to come from the my main job? Will they accept if I submit employment letter for an international company not stationed in Japan?
Hi Damola. I can't say for sure if working under an international company not stationed in Japan fits the requirement, however, based on the living conditions, it specifies the need to have a stable source of income. I would recommend confirming legal advice from a professional, just to be sure.
@@swimmychannel3029 ok, thanks!
@@swimmychannel3029 do you know if they review only the salary for the year I apply or they review all my 5 years in Japan?
What is the first step? I really want to apply for citizenship, I’ve been living in Japan for 33 yrs. and my daugther is already 25 yrs. old . What really is the first step to do to apply for japanese citizenship?
Can you help me about what to write exactly in essay ?
I have a question. I read in the internet that one of the requirement in applying for citizenship is your family members names. Is it true? and why?

I am stay here more than 5 years .Currently I am dependent visa of parent . Is there any process to apply .please let me know
Hi , so i'm yonsei (4th generation japanese descendant) and is these ordinary naturalization is aplied with these rules too?
some people says that forthe 4th generations the condition is to stay consecutives 10 years , so i got confused about that.
So if i go to japan with yonsei visa i cant get the naturalization?
The YONSEI visa was first introduced in 2018, so I don't think there are many precedents for naturalization of YONSEI...yet. The exception to that is if the YONSEI lives in Japan with a SANSEI parent and the entire family naturalized or obtained Permanent Visa (when the YONSEI was under legal adult age.)
According to Japanese news media from June 2023, new YONSEI visa guidelines will be announced by end of 2023 allowing them to switch to "TEIJYUSHA (定住者)" residency status after certain years of residency (and certain level of fluency). This change in residency status will allow the YONSEI to have the same privileges as NISEI and SANSEI...as the visa can be renewed indefinitely. SANSEI need 5 years residency to apply for Naturalization.
I'm not an immigration lawyer, but from what I can speculate based on the purpose of the YONSEI visa, which is to encourage more YONSEI to live and work in Japan, Permanent Visa and Naturalization will also be available after certain years of residency. Naturally, YONSEI who are residing in Japan on different visas (i.e. work, student, or spousal) fall under their respective visa rules for Naturalization and Permanent Visa. In any event, the most important requirement for the YONSEI visa is basic language fluency.
My grandfather is Japanese, he went to Brazil when he was child almost 3 years old, then my father wasn’t registered at the Japanese or Brazilian consulate, my father has been registered 16 years later his born in Brazil , so How I get the citizenship about family and not like other foreigners?

What nationality is eligible to have a Japanese citizen? Can someone from 3rd world country apply?
Can a Ssw working visa person can apply for japan citizenship
Hi, are these requirements also apply to divorced people with permanent residency? Thank you in advance .
Hello! Since you are no longer married to a Japanese national, you fall under the "ordinary naturalization" category and pass the minimum conditions in order to be eligible. Please note that you would only be required at least 1 year of work experience if you have lived "continuously" in Japan for 10 year of more.
@@swimmychannel3029 Thank you so much for the reply🥰
@@swimmychannel3029 Is "continously" means I never go back to the Philippines for 10 consecutive years?

Hi Ashiqur. Upon naturalization and becoming a Japanese citizen, you are now considered as a foreigner in the country of your original citizenship. You are free and not prevented from visiting any country but depending on their respective travel requirements, you may or may not need to apply for travel visa.

Thanks
Thank you for watching! :)
Thank you for your video. I have been in Japan for 25 years and married for 15 years.But immigration gave me 1 year visa 6 times and 3 year visa 3 times. I may have broken the law of being overstayed before I got married.But should immigration also continuously break their law by intentionally punishing me knowing that I pay all taxes and pension and residency fees like Japanese?
Receiving a visa is not punishment...
@@LethalMartialArtist Can you elaborate more?What about those who got permanent residence between 3 to 5 years after being married to a Japanese national?
@@akajoseph8558 you used the wrong word “punishment” punishing would be for immigration not to renew your visa. That’s the point I wanted to make.
Paying taxes, pensions and residence aren't punishment its basic and mandatory
@@smile4u482 You people refuse to understand. I am not saying paying taxes is punishment.It is very good and mandatory.What I am saying is that there are laws allowing foreign residents married to Japanese national to keep gradual residence visa status:usually 1 year,3 years and permanent residence and then lastly at will Japanese nationality (changement of Nationality). I can say without doubt that since Japan gouvernement started granting residence visas to foreigners married to Japanese national,I may be the only one who is married legally,wedded my spouse in the presence of our family for over 14 years (since 2006) and being given 1 year visa 7 times and 3 years visa 3 times. I know people who overstayed their visa before getting married but got permanent residence in 4 years and others 5 years or 6 years.That’s why I say immigration is punishing me.
Technical intern visa 3 year or 5 years is countable for permanent residence ?
Hi Cherry Flower. Those under these type of visas qualify:
(a) any type of work visa that is listed in one of the Highly Skilled Professional sub-categories (e.g. Engineer/Specialist in Humanities/International Services, Intra-Company Transferee, Business Manager, Researcher, Professor),
(b) Spouse of Japanese National Visa, or (c) Long Term Resident visa.

I graduated from a Japanese university. I stayed total 5 years in Japan including 1 year of working as a full time employee. I am holding 5 years working visa. Am I eligible to apply for the naturalization?
ofcourse the answer is NO
Hello. I’m 27 years old and a Biological child of a Japanese National but I grew up in the Philippines which is why I hold a Philippine passport.
I currently hold a child/spouse of Japanese nation and I’ve been living in Japan for almost four years now.
I want to acquire a Japanese passport but I’m not sure what’s the best procedure for my case.
Thank you.
i’m in the same situation lol
