Naturalization applications for company managers and self-employed individuals
Updated: July 2025, 7
From those who run their own companies, "It's hard to get financing" "Because I am a foreign national, the company-related procedures are complicated and difficult." We sometimes receive inquiries such as:
If you plan to continue doing business in Japan in the future, obtaining Japanese citizenship will be a major factor in making future company operations easier.
Advantages of naturalization for company managers and sole proprietors
Easier to get loans from banks
Easier reporting procedures
Easier to consolidate overseas assets
When traveling abroad, the number of countries that can be entered without a visa will increase, making the process easier.
Points to remember when applying for naturalization as a company manager or sole proprietor
Both of these points are related to money, such as taxes and sources of income.
Confirmation of business financial status and tax payment status
Since tax payments are a source of assets for Japan, naturalized people are thoroughly checked to see whether they are "fulfilling their tax obligations properly" and "will be able to continue paying them in the future." Regarding business tax, the most recent three years will be checked. On the other hand, if you are self-employed, your complete tax return documents will be checked.
Quickly collect documents required by the Legal Affairs Bureau, such as documents outlining your business
Business owners and self-employed individuals have to submit significantly more documents than salaried employees who work for a company. Most of the documents are tax-related, but if it takes a long time to collect them, the next fiscal year will come around and you will have to obtain the latest documents again. In addition, if the applicant is self-employed, they will be required to submit a document called "Business Overview." This document will detail your business operations, major business partners, and financial situation, including sales and expenses. You will also be asked to provide figures such as number of employees and profit margins.
If you operate a corporation with a different fiscal year, schedule your application based on the fiscal year and the application period.
When applying for naturalization, you will also need to submit a set of documents related to financial statements. At the time of application, financial statements for all businesses must be up to date, so if you run businesses with different fiscal years, it is important to schedule your application so that it does not overlap with your fiscal year.
If the fiscal year ends before the end of the fiscal year when you apply, you will need to submit an additional set of documents after checking that the new financial situation meets the requirements.
