It's not a secret that many foreign investors wish to apply for a business manager visa to expand their opportunities while staying in Japan. Still, purchasing some property may not be enough to pass the Immigration Office screening. In recent years the Immigration Law got tighter than ever so many applicants faced a bitter visa rejection.
But don't be afraid, we are here to your assistance, so let's calm down and look deeper into the matter.
First, let's check the official requirements for the business visa in Japan.
You need an office located in Japan
You must either employ at least 2 Japanese residents full-time or invest at least 5 million yen in your business
You need to provide a detailed business plan translated into Japanese to prove that your company would be stable and long-lasting
You must have more than 3 years of business administration experience
Your salary must be equal or higher than the same rank and field professionals in Japan
Even if you scored 5 out of 5, you are only halfway to your investor visa. The Immigration Office screening is quite strict, but there's a smart shortcut which will double your chances to pass. Actually, if you purchase some property in Japan, you will appear more reliable for the Immigration Office.
To secure your chances we recommend to attach an annual expected rental income statement for your property as well as the proof of ownership when you apply for the business manager visa. Together with your main income statement that might be more than enough to make the Immigration screening go smooth.
Even though owning a property in Japan doesn't serve as a bulletproof guarantee for getting a business manager visa, remember that it provides you with a stable source of income. Even if you fail at the screening once, there would be always a second chance to challenge your luck!
