No. Foreigners can legally purchase property in Japan without holding a visa or residency status. If you're considering relocation, I can also connect you with professionals who specialize in visa and immigration matters.

In most cases, overseas buyers purchase property with cash. Mortgage options for non-residents are limited, though some alternatives may be available depending on your circumstances.

I work as an independent consultant, helping clients understand the process, evaluate opportunities, and coordinate with licensed professionals when required.

Timelines vary depending on the property and circumstances, but many transactions can be completed within a few weeks to a few months.

My consulting service can include property search guidance, due diligence support, communication assistance, local coordination, purchase planning, and recommendations for trusted professionals.
