RetireJapan
I just hit 40 with a couple hundred thousand USD in savings + passive income, and I’d love to spend the rest of my life chilling in Japan and doing my own thing (game and app development).
As a “third culture kid” I’ve been out of place in every place so I don’t mind if I’m never going to be accepted as “one of them” and all that. I just want a nice house in a quiet, green environment (preferably in Hokkaido; I’ve never seen snow!) and keep to myself and work on my passion projects.
It seems other than paying someone to marry me, my best option is probably a business/startup visa for a software company.
Has anyone else here been through this, or knows how any of this works? Thanks in advance for any advice you can give! <3
What’s the easiest way to “BUY” a long-term visa/residency?

If you can make it to Kutchan (Niseko, Hokkaido) for June 26th then this free seminar might be just what you're looking for:
