[50th Anniversary of Japan-Australia Friendship] A Hit Book Ranked #1 in Two Amazon Categories! A New Strategy for 'Educational and Investment Migration' to the Southern Hemisphere, Known by Only 17% of Japanese People Holding the 'World's Strongest Passport'

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

Upon pre-order, this work reached #1 in two Amazon new release rankings ('International Law' and 'Foreign Law') and has already garnered a significant response.

2026: A Historic Milestone for Japan and Australia 2026 is a commemorative year marking the 50th anniversary of the signing of the 'Basic Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation between Japan and Australia.' Avoiding the Northern Hemisphere, where geopolitical risks are rising, global capital and top-tier talent are now shifting significantly toward the 'Southern Hemisphere.' In this book, the author, who has reviewed thousands of visa applications at the Australian Embassy in Japan, reveals the reality behind 'asset protection,' 'global education,' and 'lifestyle optimization'—explaining why wealthy Japanese individuals and young people are now aiming for the Southern Hemisphere, based on her 25-year career.

3 Social Backgrounds Attracting Media Attention 1. The 'World's Strongest Passport' Going to Waste While the Japanese passport boasts world-class reliability, the possession rate is only 17%. This book suggests that beyond this '17% barrier' lie hints for innovation that can revitalize Japanese society.

2. The Unprecedented 'Southern Hemisphere Shift' and Oceania's Popularity Business exchanges are accelerating on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of Japan-Australia friendship. The book covers the latest trends in investor and retirement visas, specifically proposing the option of 'migration' that goes beyond the scope of tourism and business.

3. Not 'Escaping Japan,' but 'Multi-Base Living' for the Wealthy and Gen Z Rather than 'abandoning Japan,' the book explains a new way of life: maintaining bases around the world and bringing feedback back to Japan. It is recommended by private bankers, professionals, and the tourism industry as 'the most necessary knowledge right now.'
