MarcusSA posted:Can you own one of these properties and not have residency? Yep. You can go buy property in Japan right now on a tourist visa if you wanted to, there's no law against it. You're not going to be able to get bank financing of course unless you have some kind of stability (though I don't think you need PR) but if you just roll up with a suitcase of cash and straight up buy the place like you're in Yakuza 0, you can do it.

Japan's working visa situation is pretty unusual, the visa is yours and not tied to your employer. You can get a job, get a visa issued, then quit day one and your work visa is still valid for the full year or whatever. I've talked to people who did that with ESL schools to get in the country then went to work at a ramen shop or whatever they were actually interested in learning. I don't know if that's an old loophole that's been closed but as far as I know it's still how it works. Also when you apply for a work visa you have no idea how many years you will get, it's just random. Which is kind of funny if you're not the one playing visa roulette hoping for a five year.

Also, (and forgive me for continuing the nitpicky Japanese work visas derail), there are different kinds of work visas. I started working in Hokkaido this March. I arrived on an "Instructor" Visa, and was working in mainly Junior High Schools and Elementary Schools and all was good. But then the local Board of Education added Nursery Schools, Kindergartens, a High School and an Adults class at the Town Hall to my schedule, (I work in a rural area, so as the foreign teacher, they want to spread me around as far as they can), so I had to go down to the regional immigration office to get my visa status changes before it was legal for me to do so. (Something about "instructors" being allowed to work in certain types of schools, but you need a "Specialist in Humanities/International Services" visa for other types of schools.) Whilst not difficult, it is not as easy as you would think to just come over to Japan and work/buy property etc. But hey, China. What a great place eh? I still kinda miss the baozhi I would get from an old lady and her cart in Fuzhou. Also the weird oily bread and egg thing I would have for breakfast most days in Chengdu. I don't miss the political oppression, nasty stares I would get whenever I walked outside, thin layer of grime/construction dust that covered everything, or insane bureaucracy that I had to deal with in my 2 1/2 years there though.

I think Taiwan work visas are pretty flexible too, I've heard similar stories there.

You can even get a second job, as long as it's in the approved area and first job agrees.

That is nice. Once you get a job in Korea or China they own your rear end and if it sucks enough and you can't talk them into releasing you your only way out is the old midnight run to the airport.

A lot of Japanese employers try to imply that, and will threaten to call immigration if you quit. But in reality they have no power over that, and in fact you can even go register for unemployment and the public job listings.

Vincent Van Goatse posted:I'd take a job on a Japanese farm and I don't even speak Japanese. Sounds interesting. If you have access to a working holiday visa, no problem. Plenty of places will take you. Otherwise, you'll need a degree in farming or ten years experience, plus a specific farm offering an employment contract. If you're southeast Asian there's a "trainee" visa program for manual labor, but those guys DO own your rear end and there is a lot of abuse.

Doesn't mean no one gets screwed over. Your visa is tied entirely to your job, including your job's name and address on your ARC. Once you get the permanent residency card that goes away and you can be a lot more flexible on what you can do and where you go.

Alien Registration Cards don't exist anymore, but even when they did, I don't recall employer information being on there. If there is a change in employment, including becoming unemployed, you're supposed to inform immigration, but it doesn't immediately invalidate the status or anything.
