  • Not OP, but I live in Asia and am sporadically changing countries. Japan either requires you to have a job offer prior to moving, or show sufficient funds to live there indefinitely (around 2k USD/month; though that won’t get you far in Tokyo for example). Remote work does not qualify, it’s either a domestic job or income from pension or investments.

    After 10 years of living there legally you qualify for a residence permit.

    The alternative would be through marriage.



  • I’ve got three numbers basically, for a frugal, normal, and lavish retirement. I’m past frugal and should meet normal within 5 years or so. I have a small number of employee shares in my company which is planning to go public in 3-5 years.

    So my plan is to ride it out - by then I’ll have reached “normal” through my regular savings, and if the IPO is successful, would beam me straight into lavish territory. If not, I’ll just stick to what I have and call it a day. Never been a big spender anyway.
