Japan Considers Lengthening Naturalization Residency Requirement Amidst Population Concerns
The Japanese government is considering stricter citizenship requirements. The proposed changes would likely extend the minimum residency period required before an individual can apply for citizenship, currently set at five years. This potential shift reflects ongoing efforts to regulate immigration and citizenship policies. Further details on the specific length of extended residency are currently unknown but are expected to be announced in the near future.
