You do not need a visa, residency status, or Japanese citizenship to purchase property. In practice, overseas buyers typically need: a valid passport for identification; a notarized affidavit in place of a Japanese residence certificate, since overseas buyers don't hold Japanese residency records; a power of attorney if you can't be present in Japan for signing or registration; and, after purchase, the appointment of a tax administrator to receive property tax notices on your behalf. We coordinate these steps together with our judicial scrivener and tax partners, so you're not navigating the paperwork alone.
