Another question I had asked was: What are the REAL requirements for becoming a permanent resident in Japan? What(and when), if I may ask, was your experience with applying for the eijyuken. What factors do you think made you eligible (besides pure luck if that be the case). I am slowly amassing the necessary documents and writing a short essay in English and Japanese. The guarantor is another issue (who wants to sponsor me). I have a feeling that I will also be scruntinized for my choice of guarantor. The key point being that I am not married.
