Why I'm Giving Up My Passport to Become a Japanese Citizen

Japan doesn't allow dual citizenship, so why would a permanent resident from the UK decide to give up their passport? After 25 years in Japan, I've decided to start the process to naturalize and become a Japanese citizen. In this video, I share the biggest reasons for this decision, including the major wakeup call many permanent residents had during the pandemic and the crucial difference between having "permission" to live in Japan and the "right" to live here. I'll walk you through the very first step: the initial consultation at the Hōmukyoku (Legal Affairs Bureau). Find out what my experience was like (much better than my first attempt in 2011!), what documents I had to bring, the forms I filled out on the spot, and the 7 main conditions for naturalization. This is the first video in a series documenting my journey to Japanese citizenship. If you're a permanent resident, considering naturalization, or just curious about the process, this video is for you. ________________________________ Join the RetireJapan Learning Center here: https://www.skool.com/retirejapan-755...
