Lookinround,
There is probably a good reason AJX/AJV want you to go home (scurry off, go anywhere, go away) upon completing duty. Employing foreigners to do anything in Japan is a very contentious issue.
And you only have to consider the bad wrap the Cathay pilots get in Hong Kong. I don't imagine that base in Tokyo for foreigners would be a very popular idea there.
However, if you already possessed the right of abode in Japan or some kind of of immigrant landing visa, then what are they going to do? Deport you? Without formal sponsorship from your employer, they will assume you are attempting to colonize them or takeover their country.
Good luck
