What's the maximum age you an live in japan?
So what's the maximum age? If you retire and go to japan do you have to work until you get permanent residence? Also, when you get permanent residence can you not work and just live in japan for the rest of your life?

You can't just go and live in Japan, just because you want to or are retiring. You need to have a reason to live in Japan, such as work, education, family, etc. So unless there is a real reason for you to live in Japan, even if you are old and can't work anymore, the most you can stay in Japan is usually 90 days on a tourist visa.

If you have permanent resident status, you should be ok. The main problem is finding long term work there to begin with.

Oh for goodness sake, how often do you have to be told. You can't just retire to Japan, or turn up and work there or just up sticks and move there at any age. Read this: http://www.mofa.go.jp/j_info/visit/visa/ And wise up.

This question just got asked a couple of times recently. You can NOT simply retire to Japan. If you can find a job in Japan you have a good chance of getting a PR visa after 5 years. Then you can stay. Otherwise, it's not going to happen.

There is no MAX age you can live in Japan, you can live in Japan until you die. However you need the proper permission to live in Japan in the first place. So first you need to work or come to Japan as some other status and live there legally.
