1. Nerds like Japan.

2. People with money like acquiring passports.

3. This community has above average representation of both.

If you like acquiring passports, then I'm not sure if you want to go for the Japanese one, since you have to give up your previous citizenship afaik.

  • The fact that multiple replies to my post know this fact only serves to prove my point though. :)

> People with money like acquiring passports.

Japan doesn't allow dual citizenship, so not very attractive for people who want more than one passport.

Japan is probably not the best choice if your goal is a second or third passport, as others mentioned above. Countries outside East Asia, especially in Europe, tend to be more lenient about granting citizenship through naturalization, and many have friendlier tax systems (i.e., unlike the U.S., they don’t tax citizens who live abroad)
