[March 31 Book Publication] Pre-orders Now Open! Real Japanese Overseas Migration Trends, the Rapidly Growing Popularity of the Southern Hemisphere Option "Overseas Migration Sparks Innovation in Life and Society - Designing a Free Future Beyond Japan -"

Book Contents

Although Japanese citizens hold one of the world's top two most powerful passports, enabling them to travel freely, the reality is that the passport ownership rate in Japan is only 17%, meaning less than 20% of the population travels overseas.

While the national character still often perceives overseas as something distant, the enthusiasm for moving abroad has been quietly growing.

Amidst the various events occurring in the Northern Hemisphere recently, the depreciation of the yen, and uncertain global conditions, why are the wealthy and the youth leaving Japan now? This book unravels the real motives behind this, such as "asset protection," "education," and "lifestyle optimization." Furthermore, it predicts that the geopolitical value of the Southern Hemisphere will increasingly rise in the coming era.

Australia, a country the author has been deeply involved with for a long time, will celebrate a commemorative year in 2026: the 50th anniversary of the Basic Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation between Japan and Australia.

Drawing from over 25 years of observing human mobility and visa trends, both from her previous position as a Visa Examiner for the Australian Government in Japan and her current role as an overseas visa consultant, she touches not only upon immigration policies but also upon recent Japan-Australia business circumstances and future prospects.

Covering the latest visa trends in Australia, New Zealand, the US, Dubai, Italy, and more, she imparts ways of thinking to add the "overseas" option to one's life portfolio.

It is compactly compiled as business knowledge for those considering moving abroad, from study abroad and working holiday makers to entrepreneurs and wealthy individuals, as well as for professionals in the tourism industry, private bankers supporting wealthy clients, and legal and accounting professionals.
