The requirements for an investment visa in Japan are as follows:

The applicant wants to start a business in Japan (start a company), or he doesn't set up a company himself, but takes a management position in someone else's company (which stands for banning activities-it can be understood as the general manager of China).

you need to inject at least 5 million yen of capital when you apply for a company (you can take it out after you get a visa-it can be temporarily understood as a deposit) or hire more than two people who live in Japan (it is troublesome to pay salary insurance once you are hired, so everyone usually chooses the former-5 million).

To handle a company, it is necessary to have a legal firm as the registered address of the company.

Business plan (instructions on what company to set up and how to operate in the future, etc.) and various prescribed materials

In this way, it's very simple, right, but it's not. As for the purpose of applying for an investment business visa, because the requirements for the operators themselves are relatively low, many people have come up with the idea of working in Japan by applying for an investment business visa, which is illegal! Therefore, in recent years, the visa application for investment and operation has become very strict ~ According to the past cases, I would like to summarize the following specific points (the following requirements are not correct, depending on the situation)

Investors should not be too young, and the purpose of applying for visas will be suspected if they are under 21 years old (after all, it is not so convincing for a 17-year-old student to start a company).

It is best for investors to have relevant experience in managing companies, have opened companies in China and held management positions in the company, and it is best for them to have a certain understanding of the industries they want to engage in in in Japan in the future.

It's best to provide some proof about the operation of the business, such as where to purchase goods and how many times a week, etc., which can increase the authenticity of the store you want to open.

as mentioned above, the choice of a firm needs to be a legal contract. Some people ask if the rented apartment is ok, but only if the landlord agrees that you can use the house as a firm, and it is indicated in the lease contract that the house is used as a firm, and your residence cannot be the same address as the firm.

capital remittance requires that the capital be remitted to a Japanese bank account, which can only be handled by a person with a long-term visa. If the applicant is in China, he needs the help of a partner in Japan to start a company together, and the capital will be remitted to the Japanese partner account ~ After the visa application is completed, the partner can quit the company ~

Some types of companies need Japanese qualification certificates, such as real estate, tourism, catering and so on.

To put it simply, it is very important to apply for a visa to explain in writing why you chose this industry, how to operate and manage it after coming to Japan, and the expected annual revenue. If the business plan is not clearly written, it will not be easy to get the approval of the immigration bureau.
