Get a business visa

In order to obtain a business management visa, it is important to actually set up a company, hire employees, and be ready to start a business immediately before applying. At this time, if the business is legally conducted in Japan, there are no restrictions on the industries such as trade, travel, restaurants, and automobile sales, but the stability and continuity of the business is extremely important.

In addition to the provisions of the Companies Act, various provisions of the Immigration Control Act are also involved in establishing a company, so if you establish a company yourself with insufficient knowledge, you may not be able to obtain a business management visa later. It is often seen.

If you want to set up a store and do business, you will need to make a lease contract for the store, interior work, etc., and you will need to make a large investment to apply for a business management visa. However, if the business management visa is denied as a result of the application, you will not be able to run the business and you will have to dispose of the company or store you prepared. Considering the relationship of trust with business partners and financial loss, it is no exaggeration to say that obtaining a business management visa cannot be tolerated.
