Okay, I got these info from: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Japanese_Immigration_Law
Permanent residency
Permanent residency (永住権 eijuken) is the strongest form of landing permission, granting the bearer the right to live and work in Japan indefinitely. It must be applied for and obtained within Japan, generally after five to ten years of continuous residency there.
One major advantage of permanent residency is that financial institutions often deny loans to foreigners who are not permanent residents.
And now comes to "Naturalization". In case some of u donno the meaning of Naturalization, pls see : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naturalization
In law, naturalization refers to an act whereby a person acquires a citizenship different from that person's citizenship at birth. Naturalization is most commonly associated with economic migrants or refugees who have immigrated to a country and resided there as aliens, and who have voluntarily and actively chosen to become citizens of that country after meeting specific requirements.
Aiyaz, in short means change citizenship lorz.
Naturalization
The criteria for naturalization are provided in Articles 4 through 10 of the Nationality Law:
1) Continuous residence in Japan for five years or more
2) At least 20 years old and otherwise legally competent
3) History of good behavior generally, and no past history of seditious behavior
4) Sufficient capital or skills, either personally or within family, to support oneself
5) Stateless or willing to renounce foreign citizenship
The Minister of Justice must approve all applications for naturalization. Review of an application generally takes about one year.
In the past, the "good behavior" requirement has been used to deny or severely delay many naturalization applications, particularly from Chinese and Koreans.
I'm getting abit HIGH liaoz.
Then I went on to search a few more websites and found this:
If you are a person from a country outside Japan, you have to reside in Japan for five years consecutively to make yourself entitled for the citizenship of Japan. The five years duration can be reduced if you are married to a citizen of Japan. There are some other requirements also that you will know when you contact them.
WAHAHAZ!
Okay, take it that I stick to my dream of going to Japan at the age of 28, then that means I would only attain my PR or citizenship status if I turn 32 or 33.
Which is UNLESS.....
I go marry a Japanese girl then I may attain it much faster, perhaps by the age of 30 or 31?
Reading such things really keep me demn high lar. I seriously donno what to say. I know I still have about 1 year of NS to go, but with such thoughts running through my brain really give me morale BOOST all the way lar! SOmetimes I just try to "deceive" myself that going thru 2 yrs of shit right now, for a greater future ahead. O my... I think I wanna go MAD liaoz.
What is one month of shit in Taiwan, as compared to doing what I enjoy 10 years down the road? What is one more year of being fucked by lowly-educated idiots, as compared to be able to work in a BIG MNC and interacting with people of... higher social class?
I think I have told some of my friends about my dream.
I want to work in a big MNC. I want to wear business suit, tie, shiny leather shoes and carry briefcase to work everyday. For some of you who got watch those Japanese/korean/taiwanese drama, where those businessman got their own office. I want to be like that!!!
Not that all these are impossible in Singapore. But I've never thought of establishing my career in Singapore.
I want to be able to comprehend Japanese songs without looking at their romanji-translated lyrics. I want to be able to watch Japanese movie without having to look at the Eng/Chi subtitles. I want to be able to speak to Japanese people without speaking half-fucked Japanese, such that they don't understand. I want to read Japanese newspaper without any difficulty. I can easily tune in to Japanese FM and able to comprehend every word they say. When I switch on my TV, I can easily understand what the show is talking about.
Simply, I want to speak and use Japanese in my everyday life.
I hope this desire, this dream, this passion will keep me going... At least till I ORD in 11 months time.
With that, this shall be my last post till I return back from ROC on 17th April. Haiz, I'll miss blogging.
