外国人ビザ申請サービス：経営管理ビザ事例7（経営管理の在留資格を取得するには2人雇用する必要がありますか。 ）

The first step to do this is to establish your company. There is a common misbelief that you must have a Business Manager visa in order to start a company. While this is usually the case for those living abroad who are aiming to come to Japan in order to start a business this is not the case for those who already possess a working visa. However, there are a couple of things you must be incredibly careful about. First, while it is possible to establish a business while on your working visa it is not permissible to make money from this company. Secondly, a mistake many people make is resigning from their job and waiting too long to apply for the new visa. Specifically, this is 3 months. If you leave your job and then don’t either apply for the business manager visa or get a new job within 3 months your visa is likely to be cancelled. So, it is of vital importance that you do not fall foul of this.

The general flow for changing from a working visa to a business manager visa is as follows.

1.Create and officially establish the company (Although I have listed this as one step, in reality it is actually many steps.)
2.You will then have to register the details of your company to the tax office.
3.If your business is one which requires permits for example food production you will also have to apply for these.
4.After this is all settled, you will then have to start applying for your Business Manager visa.
