@jt_unanchored: Japan just made it 6x harder to move here — and it nearly killed our plan. Last October the entrepreneur visa jumped from ~$35k to nearly $200k overnight. We’re a family planning this move, and that number gutted us. But there’s a door most posts aren’t showing you: the startup visa buys you 2 years in-country to build before you have to clear that bar. And if it doesn’t pan out, you pivot to a work visa. Two ways to win. Save this if Japan’s on your list. And tell me — is a move like this on your radar, or did that number just end the dream? 👇 #movingtojapan #japanvisa #movingabroad #expatlife #japanrelocation

I didn’t know you had to pay so much to go there. Would a long visa work to visit at least twice a year?

So many other countries to choose from why Japan? It's a dying nation that simultaneously doesn't want foreigners to come there yet cannot retain its own youthful generations who are fleeting in droves.

life's an adventure and we should treat it that way because a plan not working out is not failure!

I’d say be very careful with the Startup visa… the total renewable time (if it’s 2yrs) may not be the same as the renew period (which may only be 6mos each time), and often the renew period can include a business performance review. This makes it really hard because I can’t think of many startups that show revenues within their first six months.

As a fellow black man in Japan, best of luck, but this is an AWFUL idea.

I think you’d be best off consulting with an immigration lawyer about the viability of the plan. If you intend on bringing family you’ll need to be able to show you have enough savings and make enough income to support them. Tax, health insurance, and pension is also no joke. All the money you bring into the country is subject to remittances and immigration has become more strict. Visa fees are also skyrocketing. For a family of 4, to renew a one year visa it will costs hundreds of dollars. Best of luck to you but I think it’s in your best interest to find a job and a work visa and then work towards PR.
