Business Manager Visa/Japan Visa Application Service

1.What is the Business Manager Visa?

1.What is the Business Manager Visa?

This visa was created in order to allow both foreign entrepreneurs come to Japan and establish/manage their own business as well as allowing foreign executives from big companies to come over to Japan.

Broadly speaking there are three kinds of people who would qualify for this visa:

Examples of the above include: Managing Directors, Directors, Statutory Auditors, Factory Directors etc.

The main thing immigration is looking for when assessing applications is that you are able to come to Japan and start doing business as soon as they give you the visa. This means things like securing an office, having potential vendors lined up, having employees ready to start (if applicable). While there are no specific restrictions on the kind of business you can engage in you must demonstrate to immigration that you are realistically able to do business in that field and that your company is likely to be successful and sustainable.

Because there are a lot of specific rules that need to be followed when establishing a company it is important to be careful or there is a risk that you may set up a company but not be able to get the visa.

Particularly when it comes to the food industry there are a lot of problems people face when it comes to things like opening a restaurant, getting food preparation permissions etc. There is a minefield of potential things that could ruin your chances of being accepted. This would not only lead you to having a company you can't use but may lead to you losing the confidence of your business partners and potential vendors.

This is why we recommend working with a professional with years of experience getting people visas.
