Can I get citizenship in Japan by marriage to a Japanese national? -

If I married a japanese woman, would I be eligible to stay and work in japan? And for pity s sake, spare the smug answers. You pricks.

No. There is no concept of citizenship like the US, but nationality in Japan. You ll get a spouse visa, if you married Japanese. You will get re-entry permit very easily. However, these don t mean citizenship. Citizenship is a concept for the country where you can choose both nationality and the right to be a citizen. In Japan, citizen mean Japanese national. You need to be naturalized to obtain passport.

What is so interesting to be Japanese? Why should you asshole has to change your nationality? Why not just keep your nationality? Have no job in your own country or what?...Think about what job you can get there if you want to live there! Aren t you proud of your own nationality?

If you get married to a Japanese woman, you will get a spouse visa, and of course with a spouse visa, you will have rights to live and work, but not citizenship. You have to go down to the immigrant office once a year or every 3 years to extend your visa though.

What makes you think the Japanese want you?

Yes,but it would take 5 or 6 years to get it, maybe...And to get a job you d need to be able to read, write, and speak Japanese at a native level. Can you ? I did nt think so. Now all you have to do is find a deaf, and blind woman who s very hard up.
