Question:
I have a few misdemeanors on my record. Is there any possible way I could live in Japan, some day? I am in college right now and taking classes on the japanese language. I want to eventually work as a computer programmer (computer science is my major) and be transferred to Japan, as I find the japanese people and their culture fascinating. Is this possible or am I just wasting my time learning japanese?
Answer:
You can LIVE there, but you can never become a citizen - anybody applying for a Japanese citizenship must have a completely clean record. If they were minor crimes, you might be able to plead your case with the embassy (especially if there was never any jail time), but I wouldn't count on it. Sorry...
But if you just want to stay as a non-citizen, that's fine.
