Japan Business Management Visa

Japan's Management Visa Programme is designed to attract foreigners with extensive management experience to start or manage a business in Japan. Applicants are required to demonstrate sufficient business experience and financial strength and plan to start a business in Japan. After review, the applicant will be granted permission to operate and manage a business in Japan and may reside in Japan. In addition, holders of the Management Visa can invite their family members to immigrate to Japan with them. The Management Visa is valid for an initial period of six months and can be extended for two years at a time thereafter, with a maximum stay of five years.

Basic requirements:

1. Aged 18 or above.
2. Operating a company in Japan or managing a business for a foreign corporation.
3. There are no restrictions on the contents of the business.
4. The minimum investment amount is JPY5,000,000.

Application Requirements:

• Foreigners who intend to develop their careers in Japan.
• Invest JPY5,000,000 or more in a project of your choice, or hire two or more full-time employees.
• Approval will be granted only after the Immigration Service (ISA) confirms that there is a possibility of making a profit from the business.
• Must have separate office space that is legally leased and participate in the day-to-day operations.

Advantages of the Japanese Management Visa include fast processing (approximately 6-9 months), no academic or language requirements, free primary and secondary education for minor children, medical benefits, the ability to live in any city of your choice, and the possibility of applying for permanent residence or naturalisation in Japan.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Does the lack of Japanese language skills affect my visa application?

Visa approvals are not affected by Japanese language ability, but a basic knowledge of Japanese is more useful for life and work.

Is the purchase of immovable property a business management visa programme?

If it is used to operate a bed and breakfast or hotel, or purchased in the name of a company to collect rent, it meets the requirements.

How can I renew my visa smoothly?

In addition to attracting management personnel and increasing employment, another purpose of the Business Management Visa is to increase tax revenues, with the expectation of bringing in fixed tax revenues to contribute to the Japanese society. The Immigration Service will renew the visa on the basis of the status of business operation and tax payment, so it is important to increase business turnover and maintain profitability.

The Japanese Management Visa provides a valuable opportunity for foreigners who want to start a career in Japan, while at the same time offering more benefits and possibilities for their families.
