Questions?
Find answers to common questions about GlobalPassport™ and our tools guiding you towards residency or citizenship in Japan.
What Mobility Assets are available to me in Japan?
Japan offers two different Mobility Assets: Digital Nomad Visa and Residency by Investment.
Do I need to speak Japanese to apply for residency or citizenship in Japan?
No, you don’t need to speak Japanese to apply for any of the Mobility Assets available in Japan.
Can my family members apply for residency or citizenship in Japan with me?
Yes, in most cases, your spouse and dependent children can be included in your application, but be sure to check the requirements in the results provided in your Explorer Kit before you proceed.
How will the GlobalPassport™ help me move to Japan?
Step One: Use the Explorer Kit to determine which Mobility Assets suit you best.
Step Two: Gather your documents, with the help of our proprietary AI system if necessary, and store them securely within the GlobalPassport™ app.
Step Three: Submit your application, already knowing your chances of success thanks to your personalised Petition Approval Score.
Step Four: Receive approval and celebrate your new international residency privileges!
Can I keep my own citizenship?
Most likely! Japan does allow dual citizenship, but you’ll have to check that your home country also allows it to proceed. Many countries, such as the US, do allow dual citizenship, but check before you apply. You don’t need to change your citizenship for residency-based Mobility Assets.
