title says it all, my parents are not letting me be a neet anymore now that I make 200k/yr and are gonna charge me 1500$ rent, plus they want me to sign a contract that says if I "misbehave" they get to charge me an extra 2k. I want to go to japan because weeb and I'm fluent, speaking needs work but I passed N1. My job is fully remote but it's with a US company so idk how I can get a visa.
my other option is moving to socal since that's where my gf is but the rent there is also pretty expensive
I think the fundamental issue here is that Japan is a miserable country to live in even for the native Japanese (salaryman giga wagecucks) let alone foreigners which Japan actively forces out via xenophobic discrimination. Move somewhere better and enjoy the anime from afar
true, place is literally a failed late stage capitalistic society, but there are nice conveniences despite xenophobia. Been there a few times and since i can speak the language I generally get more respect imo, even going to places where no gaijins are allowed I stumble in speak japanese and they let me stay kek
but i do admire the natural beauty, fun things to do, and convenience. plus some areas are quite peaceful imo, only been there 3-4 times though
>Been there a few times and since i can speak the language I generally get more respect imo,
Kek no, they'll ignore that you know the language and still try to speak to you in broken english
hmm yes today I will take someone else's uninformed opinion over my real world experience
that's happened like 3 times out of 100
It's already miserable here in the US
>gf doesnt live in your area
LMAO
Jesus christ you are genuinely retarded.
why so much seethe
Post evidence you are really a rich homosexual weeb or make another boring troll thread
im not rich lol I only make 200k/yr. there are people far less intelligent who make millions a year
>long distance gf
Just dump her dude, she's definitely cheating on you.
>implying she even gives a fuck about his loser ass
>My job is fully remote but it's with a US company so idk how I can get a visa.
you can't, dumbass. do you think they have a special visa for overweight child-molesters who won't even work in the country?
Buy a small house somewhere rural, hopefully you are work from home, don’t tell job unless necessary. Your parents have now seen a modicum of success from you and instantly they want to cash in. Bad parents do this, as it should be an extension from the child, not a potential imposed burden from the elder. My suggestion - face the music you need to grow up some, and learn about mortgages fixed rate.
buying a house is in this current environment is lmao
unfortunately (or fortunately lol) i have only been working for a year and put all my savings in crypto (around 50k) nd have very little cash on hand
the thing is my parents are successful and despite treating me like shit, kicking me out numerous times, making me work for everything, they still think I need to learn " the value of money" and I'm a freeloader, as if the reason i am here isn't just to save up lmao
Well it sounds like the Apple didn’t fall far from the Tree then. Good luck.
>200k a year
>lives with parents
>can only save 50k
genius
it's more like 100k , but with the recent collapse it's probably around 50k idk I don't really check my investments daily
Also I did probably go overboard with spending since I had money for the first time in my life, and I basically only had like 100k after taxes
No matter your income you will have a hard time finding a rental as a foreigner do to the aforementioned xenophobic discrimination in
. The fact that you can work remote helps though because it lets you dodge the barrier of discrimination against foreigners in the Japanese job market (which is notoriously bad)
nah working for nihon kaisha is out of the fucking question, that's why I want to see if I can get rich enough to circumvent the restrictions
But as of now I've just started out so it will be kinda hard, it seems my best bet is just visa hopping but that's kinda dangerous
bet your room is disgusting mess filled with all sorts of toys and figures with dozens of screens, consoles and machines that take up more power than a local grocery store
no actually it's fairly clean, I have a couple of steins gate and persona posters, and one fmab poster. Besides that I have one monitor, a macbook m1 my work gave me, and an acer laptop for personal use
>I have a couple of steins gate and persona posters, and one fmab poster
>Besides that I have one monitor, a macbook m1 my work gave me, and an acer laptop for personal use
HAHAHAHAHAHA good god
steins gate is the most overhyped dogshit ever
wait a minute. when americans talk about their salaries they are referring to pre-tax values?
taxes depend on federal and state, so I guess most burgers like myself refer to the pretax value for consistency
yeah just buy a house in Socal. Don't forget your 20% down payment fren.
I’m going to refer to people like you as Jiggers, weeb is too kind
Like the Wigger, who wishes he was a black hoodrat, a Jigger wishes he was a stupid Nip
Basically a total failure in his own identity and existence
A failure in his own country so he goes to Crapan and is a token Foreigner in a place that thinks of everybody else as a nagger
So go be a Jigger, go there and shuck and jive for them for some ugly ass pussy and the chance to shit out some revolting hapa abominations
I would savagely beat the little bitch twinky pretzel armed homosexual who supposedly owns this website, because he’s a scrawny little nip zipperhead
They deserved both bombs
Fuck them and fuck you
why so much seethe lol
nah i like my gf
I’m just venting someone close to me has back stabbed me and they live there
They have turned into a different person now and treat me poorly
I basically have surrounded myself in life with the wrong people and it’s all come home to roost
I don’t want to deal with a therapist who will only ruin my life more because anything I say to them at this point will just be used against me
All I did was try to be a good person, and when I’ve struggled I’ve only been kicked down by other people
When I was more successful or lucky, I hardly got any atta boys from them either
Just more excuses why it wasn’t me who succeeded, but all because of someone else
So I’ve been taking it out on people here for years
And lol you would never believe this and just call me crazy I don’t really care anymore
But I’ve been followed recently when I finally stopped coming here in real life
I guess I went agro the wrong way and in some illegal way
Or they think I’m gunna do something violent, which I’m not
Sometimes I was just having a laugh or in the past I was super drunk and don’t remember
I’m used to getting kicked when I’m down at this point so go ahead and do it if itll make you feel better lol
it's alright fren, sometimes things are completely shit no matter how hard we try
but like sisyphus we have to try again and find joy in it somehow
if he could enjoy what he did so can we
honestly I wish I could help further but all you can do is just try to be happy even through all the bullshit, at least that is what works for me even though its a wip
ONLY TWO OPTIONS since u are a filty gaijin u need a work visa with a bachelors degree where a company will sponsor ur white ass, or u dump ur current useless gf, and marry a japanese women who will give u citezenship.
>went from being a neet to making $200k instantly
kys larping homosexual
i have a degree and learned to code
haha fair enough, it does haunt me but I think I grew up differently (since my parents are immigrants), hopefully I won't repeat the cycle of sucking and equip my kids well
ill just try my best
I want that job anon, can you give me a tip?
I self studied coding for 4 months after my degree since my degree had no job opportunities with just a BS. I got interested in the security side so I became an auditor, specializing in blockchains/cryptography
I landed a coding job last year but since I live in a third world country I only make 28k a year (which is a decent amount here). I would love to land a remote job in the US, that could probably double or triple my income, but I don't know where to apply.
just apply online fren im sure you'll find somewhere as long as your english is decent
look for companies that are 100% remote and don't care, crypto jobs are especially good for this
No way you got a job paying $200K as an auditor straight out of college. I am an auditor and I'm calling BS
why not? I studied the evm and blockchains/zkps and know probably more about them than 99% of people, it's not that unreasonable
I guess I was lucky they gave me a chance to interview, but once I had that they understood I knew my shit
Holy shit what larp
correct me if im wrong does this still work, you can run up the 6 month tourist visa leave for a few weeks and go back to start up another visit visa.
it is up to discretion of visa officer, they know about it but it's not advised since if you enter and the guy is a hardass you're gonna get booted out
Shikoku and Hokkaido are EMPTY and land is cheap there. You can easily move if you agree to fix up the place. It's my bugout plan.
A 100 Acre farm in Holkaido is like $500,000. In Canada that's like $5-$7,000,000.
>Hokkaido
Literally the snowiest place on earth. Are you retarded?
holy shit what do I have to do to get a farm there, who do I have to talk to/what's the process like if you have done any research that would be amazing
But I do wish they would stop following me
Now that had been ultra weird
Never expected that
OP just rent a van and get your online gf to take a road trip with you and find somewhere that you like and just move there. Why sit in some spot in Japan where you won't fit in and you will just be tired of in a year? If you think Japan is so great just go stay there for a month out of the year. Have you ever even been to Japan? It's cool to visit but why the fuck would anyone in the US want to spend the majority of their life there?
been there 3-4 times each for around a month, speak the language, like the food, even though some people look at me strange once I talk to them they actually open up. imo they like you if you see you've made an effort
my gf wants to be a singer there, she is also fluent and loves music, so I want to achieve our dream there together. right now it's a bit difficult because she has to take care of her family but I know we can both get there eventually. i just wanted to save up money and be independent, and my parents are springing this on me which is rather annoying. but at least I can be closer to her now
Lots of bad info in this thread.
You can come and live here infinitely just by having 30 million yen in the bank. You would not be allowed to work and could be deported if caught but realistically it's not investigated. As long as you're from a country that has visa waivers for Japan, which is almost all first-world countries, you can get this and renew annually to stay indefinitely as long as you always have that 3億円.
https://www.japan.travel/en/plan/visa-info/longer-stays-program/
Also there are plenty of agencies catering to foreigners for rental apartments so it's really not a hurdle. Yes, places refuse foreigners but you'll never be shown those places if you go to an agent who works with foreign clients
30 million or 300 million bro, one I can make immediately and the other will make time. Please tell me more, I can just grind bug bounties until I make 300k USD. Also if you say live there indefinitely, then I can just use my comfy WFH job while living there right? What about taxes? When will kishida and co actually start to give a fuck?
Oops I fucked up my oku. It's 30 million. The designated activities visa is the one you get by going this route.
You cannot legally do your WFH job while there. It's strictly meant to be a sightseeing and spending visa. But you can risk doing it because they're not likely to check, at least for a few years, when they might get suspicious you haven't used any of those savings
How do they handle passive income, eg can I just say I live off investments? Furthermore do you have any good recommendations for property/areas that aren't super expensive? Lastly, if I leave the country (lets say I want to visit my gf) do I have to reapply for this visa every time? Thanks anon appreciate the useful info
As the visa is designed to be a tourist one, you would not have tax obligations aside from the 'stealth tax' of health insurance. You could even claim back consumption tax. Therefore your office income would remain taxable only in your home country.
You would get a visa and a zairyuu card from this method so you would use the special re-entry form when leaving the country and re-entering.
You would however have to go to immigration twice a year to renew, or pay someone to do it for you. Going to immigration fucking sucks lol
As for where to live, depends what you want. I like Hyogo and Nara personally. Rural and traditional but with easy access to big cities like Kobe and Kyoto if you get the itch
i will probably pay my keigo is shit lmao
I've been to nara and it is nice but I do not want deer eating my ice cream again lol
how long does it take to get a response for this visa? And where can I apply? Also for apartments, how does it work if I have to sign a lease? Are there any cheap but lower lease period apartments?
Again, thanks so much for answering and I know I have a lot of questions, this is extremely useful info though
also where can I buy this specific travel type insurance at the cheapest possible rate?
also that says I need a "designated activities" visa, what is the criterion for getting one? Also with respect to rent, can I just make payments to the rental agency? What about taxes and bullshit for that?
The first sentence on that site says it's up to one year. Can you really renew it every year?
Just go, you can stay for at least 3 months. Once that's over do a visa run, meaning have a holiday for a few weeks in another country until you can come back for a fresh 3 months. Simple
ばれなっきゃ良いけど捕まったらすごく大変
Japanese people hate weebs. You think your parents are bad and life is miserable now loooooool holy fuck your going to commit sudoku within 3 weeks of living in Japan.
just move to a zero income tax state and do whatever the fuck you want on your own land
if you want more specific answers, you can look at expat-specific forums and "digital nomad" forums. consider that at the end of the day, you will be committing visa fraud and must be willing to bear the risk of deportation or worse, should you forge documents
i don't want to discourage you, but there's a lot to consider here. do you have meetings in US time zones?
Yeah my meetings are EST usually, so yeah it will be quite late in japan. Got a link to those forums? I figured there is no truly legal way to go there without working or marrying, which aren't options
I don't want to forge documents but if I get deported am I basically banned from entering japan ever again?
Thanks a bunch anon
you can check reddit dot com for the largest forums in each of those categories. from my understanding, if you violate the conditions of your visa and are deported, you will be barred from reentry for a year, after which you can try to reenter. they'll probably reject your application.
you seem to be fine with living with your parents, so why is $18,000 - $42,000/year in rent so much of a dealbreaker? it is highly probable that you make more than your parents
yeah I would imagine doing any sort of fuckery is a violation but they have absolutely 0 way of checking if im working remotely besides a literal audit of my bank account
It's not that I can't afford it, obviously I am in a great position financially and can afford to live elsewhere, but my goals are different. I want to save and invest aggressively in crypto, while living in a place where I have no friends and no one around me so I can improve my body/mind and skills. I want to be extremely wealthy and one of the best in the world at what I do, and I feel like moving somewhere else stifles me financially. I wouldn't be opposed to paying like 500-1000$ in rent and helping out living at home, but my parents want 1500$ AND (this is what annoys me the most) they want me to sign a contract saying if I "misbehave" (basically up to my dad's discretion) then they can charge me an extra 2000$. The fact that they want to treat me like an adult (by paying) and simultaneously feel the need to control me like this pisses me off and is completely unfair imo. I make more than my dad but not my mom who is a doctor
>I want to save and invest aggressively in crypto, while living in a place where I have no friends and no one around me so I can improve my body/mind and skills.

trust me, you're going to want to blow your brains out after half a year. been there, done that. i'd mull on this decision for a while. if you're feeling the whole "misbehaving" thing is a bit childish, tell your parents that. tell them that you agree that you are an adult and should be paying rent, but also emphasize that you should be treated like one. ask them to list out the rules of your "lease", and agree upon them in writing. treat it more like a renter's covenant that a real tenant/landlord would sign, and not the "house rules". and offer to pay at least market rent; you make more than your dad and $1,500 is ultimately a.) probably less than the going rate and b.) a rounding error in your paycheck. if you keep things professional and mature you'll probably be granted more leeway, anyways
How would I blow my brains out? I enjoy what I do and I have fun sometimes (probably too much since I drink once a week and spend some time watching league)
I just want to grind on codearena and get good, there are people who can make 50-100k at my job so I want to improve, also I need to learn a lot more cryptography to keep up to date and get good
I just want to not have to worry about money man
The thing is my dad, as you can probably tell from virtue of him proposing the contract in the first place is rather childish and stubborn to the point where he wants a literal contractual agreement to make us be able to be a happy family. I literally told him it was arbitrary but he says it's his final decision and that the contract is final, but I can "clarify" what I mean by respectful behavior (I don't think he'll agree with what I have to say, again he literally wants to contractually enforce me to be happy like an automaton)
What if I went to a language school and worked online same time?
>Make $200k a year
>crying about $1500 a month
You will always be a neet loser. Kill yourself now.
lol seethe
Says the homosexual living with mommy and daddy with a room full of animu shit.
>charge my child rent
I never understood this mentality. Chinks don’t even do this to their kids.
>and are gonna charge me 1500$ rent, plus they want me to sign a contract that says if I "misbehave" they get to charge me an extra 2k
Have your parents die in an accident and inherit the house.
Boomer scum like that don't deserve to live.
