Japan Immigration | News
Japan's "Business Management" residence qualification policy has officially entered the countdown phase! On August 25, 2025, the Immigration Bureau submitted a draft amendment to the Liberal Democratic Party's "Special Committee on Foreign Talent and Related Matters" and received approval. According to the plan, the amendment will be revised within the year after a public consultation process. This change signifies the end of the "lenient era" for immigration to Japan through the business management visa.
The new regulations are stricter. In addition to raising the capital requirement from 5 million yen to 30 million yen, the amendment introduces two key conditions: First, applicants must have at least 3 years of business management experience or hold a master's degree or higher in the relevant field; second, they must employ at least one full-time employee.
These changes mean that the difficulty of immigrating to Japan through the business management visa will significantly increase in the future. Applicants will not only need to provide more financial proof but also possess relevant management experience or higher education, and effectively create job opportunities in Japan.
For investors, the period from now until the new policy is implemented is the "last golden window period" for applicants to apply for the Japan business management visa under the current lenient conditions. Currently, applicants only need a registered capital of 5 million yen and do not need to hire local employees to apply.
According to the plan, the new policy is expected to be implemented soon, leaving little time for interested applicants. For many individuals planning to immigrate to Japan through the business management visa, this may be the last opportunity.
