Citizenship by Investment from Tokyo
Second-passport routes for Tokyo families and founders.
Choosing a CBI route from Tokyo on price alone is the most expensive decision you can make. We compare on usefulness.
Second residency and citizenship are no longer optional for principals operating across borders. Tax posture, banking access, school placements, and time-zone reality all converge on the question: where does the family actually live, and what does the passport allow?
Japan sits in a small set of jurisdictions worth running a serious file on. The wrong agent will sell you the program with the highest commission; the right one will tell you when Japan is not the right answer.
We run the file end-to-end with vetted licensed agents — source-of-funds packs, dependents, schooling, banking, and the substance build-out that keeps the residency real.
Programs matched to your Tokyo profile, family and tax position.
Sourcing, filing, biometrics, residency — done.
Private process; we work with established families and founders.
30 minutes with a partner. No deck. No pitch.
Bring the timeline and the constraint. We will tell you what is actually possible in Japan — and when it is not the right answer.
A small bench. Partner-led from intake to close.
- 01 — Jurisdiction fit
Map your tax residency, mobility needs, and family situation against Japan and 2–3 alternatives.
- 02 — Source-of-wealth file
Build the SoW pack — crypto, equity, operating businesses — to bank and regulator standard.
- 03 — Application & filing
Coordinated with a licensed local agent. We stay on the file, not just at the intake call.
- 04 — Substance & banking
Lease, utilities, banking, healthcare, school placements — the residency that survives a tax audit.
The bench that signs the file.
We are not a CBI broker. We do not earn commissions from programs, so the jurisdiction recommendation is independent.
For digital-asset wealth, the source-of-funds story is where most files die. We have written enough of them — across Japan and the broader region — to know what underwriting actually accepts.
