Me and my wife have always had a love for the Japanese culture. We plan on visiting for the first time real soon but we have always been interested in living outside the US. And with the downfall of the US Slowly closing in on us we feel when it does happen and we are of retirement age it will be to expensive for us to stay in the US.
We are looking at the options of how to move to Japan without having to work. And the only reason we say that is retirement should not be a problem as with mine and hers family inheritance we will be sitting at about $3.5-4M USD as well as hard asset equity and 401k’s etc. We just don’t want to work.
I’ve read it may be possible to apply for long term stay visa back to back to back and eventually be able to be granted citizenship after so many times of having an extended stay visa, as we have read Japan does not have a full blown retirement visa up front.
I guess our question is, is it possible to retire in Japan without ever having to get a job and jump through the hoops of all the different visas available.
