Individuals can apply for Japanese citizenship provided they satisfy the following requisites:
- They have Japanese permanent residency
- They are fluent in Japanese language
- They have lived in Japan for at least 5 years
- They are employed in Japan and have a form of financial support
- They relinquish their other national citizenship (Japan does not recognize dual citizenship)
If you satisfy these 5 requisites, then there is no reason why you cannot become naturalized Japanese. Cheers.
Minor political scuffle, at least no one was killed or seriously hurt. Let's focus on that.
hahahahahah........no wonder few middle easterners and South Asians decide to travel to Japan.
Japanese permannent residency? How long does that take? Guess quite a long time.lol
Fluent in Japanese?
Just even thinking about it will make all of these people run away.lol
Employed in Japan and have a form of of financial support?
Wow, thats if they are lucky enough to find such a good job and even less so having financial support from their home country(since they emigrate to Japan precisely to make the money to send back home.)
Relinquish their national citizenship?
They will happily do that, however, that will be just officially though, mentally/psychologically,emotionally their feelings will almost ALWAYS be with their home counties, and if Japan dares **** up abroad, they will also criticize you for your actions.lol Inshort, its quite difficult to intergrate such people who come from totally different cultural background. i will like ourgovernments/leaders to adopt Japanese method though, thatsa good screening process and makes sure all the bad eggs are filtered out,only the select fewgood ones should be granted such honor once they have proven their loyalty/love/decication to their host country. but then again even if our liberal leaders were to adopt such measures/method, you can imagine the outcry from these people about how racist we are.lol
I think Japan can still easilly asimilate/intergrate people from its other East Asian countries like China, Korea, Taiwan, etc but middle easterners? hmmm....i dont think so, very few will completely blend in. Even here in Europe we still find it hard/if not impossible to intergrate them, even though we have much more closer cultural links with them than Japan. So i dont know how that will work out. They can live in Japan forlong and abide by rules, thats more than enough, but expecting them to intergratefully/assimilate will be more difficult IMO.
