They were sitting at the end of the seats at a station and supposedly they were expected to get up and move to another seat whenever someone else wanted to sit?
10 years in Japan now and I have zero clue what this might be referring to. Unless they were marked as priority seats, anyone can sit there. They might have been loud or disturbing without realizing it or something?
Nobody would be speaking on public transport and it would be deemed impolite.
It’s not impolite to talk, it’s impolite to be loud. It’s fantastic, IMO, especially on the early, packed trains going into work in Tokyo and the like; the extra stress of noise is not needed and, many days, it served as a naptime.
Their streets in Japan are clean while there barely are any public garbage bins available.
This very much depends upon the area. They’re also clean because people are cleaning up the shit in front of their houses basically every morning. I used to live between some bars and a hotel and those streets were not clean.
In my specific case, my status isn’t tied to a job. In the average foreign worker’s case, there’s generally an allowed job-hunting period if employment ends on a work SoR. If unable to find a job then, yes, you would have to leave after your status expires.
Huh, my psychologist said her daughter lives in Japan, is married to a Japanese man and they have a child together. But if she loses her job, then she’d have to leave Japan.
Trying to connect the dots now, cuz you say you can just permanently stay as spouse.
One can apply for PR via spousal route after 3 years of marriage at least one year of that being in Japan. She might be on a work status and not spouse/dependent of japanese national, for whatever reason.
On a work status, shed need to notify immigration withing 14 days of losing her job, but there are ways to get time for job hunting. (14 days from death of spouse on spouse visa, for that matter)

Would you get deported if you lose your job or are you secure in your immigration?

How did you secure permanent residency?
I have spouse status, but my PR application is in (spousal route, though I was almost at 10 years working in Japan to go that route anyway).
