【50th Anniversary of Japan-Australia Friendship】Amazon's #1 Bestseller in 2 Categories! A New Strategy for 'Education and Investment Migration' to the Southern Hemisphere, Known to Only 17% of Japanese with the 'Strongest Passport'

AOM Visa Consulting (Location: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Yayoi Ashikaga), a specialist in overseas migration support, published 'Overseas Migration Creates Innovation in Life and Society - A Free Future Beyond Japan -' (Japan Management Center) on March 31, 2026, commemorating its 15th anniversary.

This work has already garnered significant attention, securing the #1 spot in two Amazon new release categories ('International Law' and 'Foreign Law') even before its official release.

■ 2026: A Historic Milestone for Japan and Australia

2026 marks the 50th anniversary of the signing of the 'Basic Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation between Japan and Australia.' Avoiding the geopolitically risky Northern Hemisphere, global capital and highly skilled individuals are now significantly shifting towards the 'Southern Hemisphere.' This book, authored by an individual who has reviewed thousands of visas at the Australian Embassy in Japan, explains why Japan's affluent and young people are now looking to the 'Southern Hemisphere.' It unravels the realities of 'asset protection,' 'global education,' and 'lifestyle optimization' that lie behind this trend, drawing from 25 years of career experience.

■ 'Three Societal Backgrounds' Attracting Media Attention

1. The 'World's Strongest Passport' Going to Waste

Despite Japan's passport boasting world-class reliability, only 17% of Japanese citizens hold one. The book suggests that beyond this '17% barrier' lies a hint for innovation that can revitalize Japanese society.

2. Unprecedented 'Southern Hemisphere Shift' and Oceania Popularity

Business exchanges are accelerating with the 50th anniversary of Japan-Australia friendship. The book covers the latest trends in investor and retirement visas, specifically proposing 'migration' as an option beyond tourism and business.

3. 'Multi-base Living' Rather Than 'Leaving Japan' for the Affluent and Gen Z

It explains a new way of life where individuals establish bases around the world, bringing feedback back to Japan, rather than 'abandoning Japan.' This knowledge is highly recommended by private bankers, professionals, and the tourism industry as 'the most essential knowledge right now.'
