Requirements for Investor Category
They are merely statutory requirements. IN PRACTICE, you need to tackle many more underlying problems.
Because Investor/Business Manager Visa is the only visa which does not require specific academic qualification or work experience, the Immigration Bureau has laid down strict regulations on its permission.
Recently, we receive many inquires regarding setting up a company and getting Investor/Business Manager Visa.
Before you launch your business and make application for visa, please consider if you qualify the following Actual Requirements;
1. You must have an address in Japan (if you are abroad, you need to visit Japan once to make alien registration with the local ward office in order to set up an office.) 2. You have specific business plan to start a company. Investor visa may seem an easy choice when you cannot find a job.
【Please think CAREFULLY before you leap】
The Immigration Bureau does not grant you an Investor/Business Manager Visa if you cannot prove that your new business is prospective. In order to show that you are a good entrepreneur, you need to draw up an innovative, successful yet REALISTIC business plan.
It has to be realistic because when you renew your visa next year, the Immigration Bureau checks the business plan you submitted last year to see if your business is going accordingly. (Please note that the given period of stay for Investor/Business Manager Visa is usually 1 year on the first attempt.)
Keys to apply and keep renewing visa are Sustainability and Stability. You do not want to submit an over-the-top business plan but it is also true that every great business starts with a great business plan.
Our specialists are here to write a business plan you wish to launch, set up a company and make application for Investor/Business Manager Visa!
