How to Obtain a Business Manager Visa through Property Investment in Japan
投稿日：2025年5月16日
Investing in property, such as operating a minpaku (private lodging or short-term rental business), can be one way to build a business in Japan. However, it’s important to understand that minpaku investment alone may not be sufficient to create a persuasive business plan for the Business Manager Visa. Japanese immigration authorities carefully evaluate the sustainability and profitability of the proposed business. A simple minpaku operation may not meet the criteria unless supported by a broader, well-developed business model.
If you already have an existing business foundation in your home country, this can work in your favor. However, it is crucial to establish strong ties with the local Japanese market. In such cases, having a local Japanese business partner and securing a formal business contract can significantly enhance your application. These elements demonstrate that your business has reliable local connections and a realistic plan for generating revenue in Japan.

We can help assess the viability of your business plan and support you in preparing a complete and convincing visa application.
