The Japanese business management visa is easy to obtain, requiring only an investment of 5 million to enjoy social benefits?! That's what the YouTuber said.

Many people want to move to Japan, and there are quite a few messages online claiming that with 5 million yen, one can apply for a business management visa to legally reside and live in Japan. Due to the extremely low threshold, it has sparked concern. Youtuber Xiao Zheng believes that the current rumors and posts about the "Japanese business management visa" online do not match the actual situation in Japan. Below are several points he shared and my personal opinions.

Easy application for Japan's business management visa for only 5 million yen?

The most shared discussion on the Internet is that as long as you invest 5 million yen, easily open a company in Japan, you can enjoy all the benefits of Japan, for this point, Xiao Zheng said that to get this type of visa, you must first be able to confirm what activities you are engaged in in Japan, for example, to study in Japan, the main purpose is to study, you can go to do odd jobs to make money, but the identity is a student, this kind of industry is someone else's salary, that is, employees, not bosses, but the business management visa is their own boss to make money, you need to open up your own financial resources, To be self-sufficient, you can hire others, you are not a part-time worker, and if you want to obtain a visa, you must prove your business profit model to Japan for review. The validity period of the Japanese business management visa is only one year, and every year Japan has to re-examine the company's status, and if the Japanese government believes that it does not meet the current situation of "business management", it can not renew the visa.

Investing in Japan requires creating value and tax revenue locally.

Xiao Zheng took out Japan's Reiwa 6 years (2024 ) status of residence data report, the chart shows that this type of business management visa is a small proportion of the visas wholesale in Japan, classified in the "other" category, only 6.4% temporarily. The key for those who want to get a Japanese business management visa is not that it is so easy to open a company in Japan for 5 million yen, but the main thing is to prove that they can contribute to Japan, such as what output value can be generated for the local area, such as "taxes" or "job opportunities", so that the Japanese government can believe that the business can bring benefits to Japan.

Xiao Zheng shared a post from a Taiwanese netizen on Threads in the video, in which he said that "if you want to easily and safely rely on this visa ( business management visa) to be naturalized after five years, all aspects of expenses will cost at least 10 million yen a year, and you have to work hard to learn Japanese", as for the benefits of Japan, of course, it is possible to enjoy it with Japanese citizenship. If you get a visa, you have to pay more annuities and taxes, and there is no guarantee that you will get permanent residency after five years of settlement. Xiao Zheng said that when he personally took the business management visa, he paid more than 10 million yen in taxes a year, had no special benefits and could not see a doctor, and could only ask for his own happiness if he was sick or had an accident.

Having a management visa, but unable to open a bank account in Japan?

Applied for a business management visa, but may still not be able to open a bank business account in Japan, no business account, can not record accounts, can not have savings, can not apply for loans, this situation often happens in small businesses or self-employed, in Japan to open a bank account is difficult, even Japanese locals are the same, the well-known writer Haruki Murakami once wrote in the book, he relied on translation and opening a café as a business when he was young, wanted to open an account in the bank but ran into a wall everywhere, and then finally a bank was willing to help him open an account, Great writers have also encountered the most realistic problems. If you are planning to do business in Japan, even if you have the right of abode, you do not have a corporate bank account, you cannot manage your business income and expenditure, you can only have a personal account, and it is not easy to manage your tax declaration and life.

The Japanese business management visa does not guarantee permanent residency.

Many Chinese people preach that "Japanese business management" visas are easy to get, and many intermediaries specialize in such visa cases. However, there are many discussions on the Japanese Internet that present completely opposing views. Youtuber Xiaozheng said that he had obtained a long-term Japanese business management visa, but he had a Hong Kong friend who opened a restaurant in Japan, but last month because of such a visa accident, had to leave, this experience is worth learning from others. Doing business abroad, in addition to capital proof, language skills, business management skills, integrity is also very important, Xiao Zheng said that Japanese officials will raid how you do business, look at your account flow, if Japan doubts the company's source of income and expenses, then even if it is useless to pay annuity tax, the visa can still not be issued.

The "Business Management Visa" is not a quick immigration shortcut; obtaining it is not easy, and maintaining it is even more difficult. Rather than believing the promotion that "spending 5 million can settle in Japan," it is better to deeply understand the actual thresholds and risks.
