Where would you live?

[Terpe]

Is there a reason why you cant live there on a permanent basis?

Can't qualify for long term visa. Sadly.
We're thinking about spending 3 months there each year during March, April and May which we can do without visa's.

Even our previously held long term visa's needed annual review and complete new application every 5 years

We're very happy here, but had such a wonderful life when we lived in Japan it remains our number one choice.
