Is it possible? What is required? Could, for instance, someone who has legally stayed in Japan for several years on a work permit, apply for permanent residency?
Oddly, I haven't heard too many stories of permanent residency in Japan. Perhaps that's only because I come from a relatively Japanophobic Chinese family that wants little to do with people who've settled in Japan. I, on the other hand, am rather interested in Japan and curious about the opportunities and life it might have to offer.
Those stories that I HAVE heard of settlement in Japan, usually involve marriage. Indeed, this is true of our two resident foreign-born Japanese on Yahoo Answers: Cyn and Yozora.
So, if someone would like to migrate *permanently* to Japan, is there any way to go about it ,short of seeking a Japanese boyfriend and coercing the poor chap into marriage? ( :-p at Cyn and Yozora, heeheehee ^_~)
