Frequently Asked Questions

What are the new 2026 requirements for a Business Manager Visa?
Following the major immigration revisions in October 2025, requirements have become significantly stricter. You now need a minimum capital of ¥30,000,000, must hire at least one full-time resident employee, demonstrate Japanese language proficiency at the JLPT N2 level (either personally or through an employee), and have your business plan validated by a certified professional.
Can a foreigner start a company in Japan without a visa?
Yes, you can legally incorporate a Joint-Stock Company (KK) or Limited Liability Company (GK) without living in Japan. However, to actively manage the business from inside Japan, you must obtain the Business Manager Visa or hold another valid working/spouse visa.
Can I use a Virtual Office for my company?
If you only need to register the company legally, a Virtual Office is perfectly fine, and we provide this service. However, if you intend to apply for a Business Manager Visa, immigration strictly requires a dedicated, physical, and clearly partitioned office space.
What if I don't have the 30 Million JPY capital for the new visa?
We can help you explore the Startup Visa program supported by specific municipalities like Tokyo or Fukuoka. It allows foreign entrepreneurs to stay in Japan for up to 1–2 years to prepare their business, acting as a stepping stone before switching to the strict Business Manager Visa.
Do I need a Japanese resident as a co-director?
Legally, no. You can establish a company entirely on your own. In practice, however, having a resident representative director can make the initial procedures much smoother, particularly when opening a corporate bank account. We provide full support to help you navigate these administrative requirements.
