Changing from a work visa to a business management visa
Posted: May 2023, 11

I believe that many people who have a working visa would like to change to a business manager visa in order to quit their job and start their own business.
This time, we will explain the flow of changes and review points.
There are two main cases for changing from a work visa to a business management visa:
➀Retire first, establish a new company, and then change to a business manager visa
② Establish a new company while still employed at the company, change to a business manager visa, and retire once permission is granted
In addition, the following two points will be considered for the examination.
- Business management requirements (capital generation, office establishment, business content, etc.)
- Good history of residence on previous work visas
However, the necessary explanations and documents may vary depending on the situation.
For example, if you are unemployed or have a blank period in your residence history on a work visa, you will also need to provide an explanation of that period.
We will make a proposal based on your inquiry. The first consultation is free of charge.
