Overview
As of December 2023, according to data released by the Ministry of Justice Immigration Bureau, there were 19,040 people from the United Kingdom who were classified as either permanent or long-term residents in Japan.[1]
British Hongkongers
As Hong Kong was once a British colony, even after its return to China, its residents still hold British Nationals (Overseas) (abbreviation: BN(O)) passports, and as British citizens, they are allowed to live in Japan. It is possible to enter and stay in the country. Statistically, they are included in the British population and are not distinguished from non-BN(O) British citizens.
Professional associations
The British Chamber of Commerce in Japan is an independent non-profit organisation that promotes trade and networking opportunities for member firms and business professionals living and working in Japan.
Education
The British School in Tokyo provides an English language based educational curriculum for students of over 50 different nationalities. The school serves a number of children of British heritage living in the city.
