Total support for foreigners establishing companies and obtaining business management visas
In order for a foreigner to establish a company in Japan and obtain a business manager visa, there are various hurdles to overcome, such as company establishment procedures, obtaining residence status, capital, and understanding the Japanese legal system.
In particular, to obtain a Business Manager Visa, you are required to meet specific and strict criteria, such as a clear business plan, securing a substantial office, investing more than 3000 million yen, employing Japanese people, and securing personnel with a certain level of Japanese language ability.
Furthermore, careful decisions must be made from the preparation stage, such as "what type of company is best?" and "how detailed should the business plan be?", and there are many requirements for obtaining the license.
At Wing Administrative Scrivener's Office, we handle everything from company establishment to visa applications, and will do our utmost to support you so that you can start your business in Japan with peace of mind.
Steps for establishing a company in Japan (for foreigners)
The basic steps for setting up a company are as follows:
・Determining business objectives and creating a business plan
・Preparation and certification of articles of incorporation (certification by a notary public is required for joint-stock companies)
・Payment of capital
・Application for registration of establishment (Legal Affairs Bureau)
When foreigners establish a corporation in Japan, they are often required to have a collaborator who is registered as a resident in Japan. Other systems unique to Japan, such as seal registration and reporting obligations under the Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Act, also require attention.
