    I do not have a zairu kado. I would like to buy a house in Japan and stay on it for vacation, possibly up to 6 months a year at least. Is it possibly to buy a new house (not loan required, assuming I can afford it with ~20 to 30 million yen)? Do you know if it will be a customs problem (at the airport or visa extension agency) to tell them I owe property in Japan? How much is typically the property tax range per year in different areas in Japan? I am looking for in the near future to buy house possibly near Tokyo (Akiruno) or Sendai or Morioka or Aomori....By the way, thank you for the video.

I also heard that in order to open a bank account, you need a local Japan phone number. I know non-resident foreigners are not allowed to get a phone number in Japan. Are all these true ?

    • @yamamotopropertyadvisoryto1271
      @yamamotopropertyadvisoryto1271  Před 5 lety +55

      It is the visa issue so you need to talk to the Japanese embassy in your country. On average max time you can stay with tourist visa is 3 months but it depends on your nationality. If you don't have income, you can not get a loan. If you don't live in Japan, it is very difficult to get a loan(not impossible but tough). You could start your new business in Japan as the owner and could apply for the business manager visa.

    • @jirenthegray
      @jirenthegray Před 3 lety +17

      Theoretically you may be able to buy a property in Japan without a residency visa and only come to Japan with a tourist visa twice a year (normally they only allow 3 months max on a tourist visa twice per calendar year.). So for example you can live in Japan for 3 months, then live in your native country for 3 months, and go back to Japan for 3 months.

      I am not a realtor but for new apartment in Tokyo around Yamanote line will start from from 0.8M US .
      Real estate tax would be around $2000 roughly. This amount decreases over time.
      Monthly association fee .starting fee may be around $300/months but this increases over the years. Need parking? Then additional $200/months.

    @NUCLEARARMAMENT Před 5 lety +1

    1% interest rate on a 35-year fixed-rate mortgage possible if I have a temporary or permanent VISA? Can I qualify for a mortgage if my only source of income is dividends from US-issued common stock? If I have $4,000 per month in US dividend income before taxes, is it possible to use that as a qualifying income source for securing a 0% down mortgage from a Japanese financial institution? I have no employment in Japan but I am interested in living there and eventually obtaining a permanent residence status there.
    Also, I'm looking for real estate with 4SLDK layouts (SLDK is a MUST) and larger, with at least 200 square meters building floor area, within 20 minutes walking distance of a train station or closer, constructed from concrete and stainless steel rebar (steel-reinforced frame building, or reinforced frame combined with wood is also fine; but not just wood only), and made in 1981 or sooner. Preferably ¥100,000 ($1,000) yen per square meter of building floor area or less. It is hard to find real estate in Japan like this.

      You can live in purchased apartment as long as you have some type of visa to stay in Japan.
      But you have to manage to pay for the property tax every year. Also longest short term stay will be 90 days at max. If you wish to stay longer than 90 days, need to apply for different type of visa which takes more time and effort.
      But it is worth a try, Japan is good place to live in^^
