Do you know about the Business Manager Visa in Japan?

A Business Manager in Japan is someone who works as the administrator or manager of a business. They are responsible for managerial duties in different industries in Japan. For overseas candidates to manage a business in Japan, you need to have the Business Manager Visa.

You need the following to get the Business Manager Visa in Japan:

• You need to secure an office in Japan
• You should have minimum 50,00,000 yen in your finances or business capital
• You should have at least two full-time Japanese employees

If you need to work as a Manager instead of as an administrator on the Business Manager Visa:

• You should have at least 3 years of relevant work experience. You may also need to have completed courses in Management or Administration in graduate school.
• You should receive the same salary as a Japanese Manager in the same position.

A new rule makes switching to the Business Manager Visa especially easy for exchange students in Japan.

Earlier, if an international student wanted to switch from a Student Visa to a Business Manager Visa, they could only do so after exiting the country. Such students, after course completion, had to return to their home country first and then apply for the Business Manager Visa.

However, Japan has introduced a new rule in the National Strategic Special Zones. Exchange students in these zones can now change their visa status without returning to their home country. They can even switch visas during their study in Japan, as per Izanau. However, they will need to meet all the eligibility criteria outlined above.
