Business Manager Visa and
Employee Hiring Requirements
Understanding the Business Manager Visa Employment Rules Whether hiring at least two employees is mandatory for obtaining a Business Manager visa in Japan depends on specific circumstances. Companies with a capital of 5,000,000 JPY or more are not necessarily required to hire two employees. In these cases, it’s acceptable for the business owner to be the sole staff member.
The Role of the Business Owner Under the Visa A Business Manager visa is designated for the company’s executives. As a holder of this visa, your role is limited to executive and managerial tasks. You are not permitted to perform operational activities such as cooking in a restaurant, serving drinks, or providing services like massages or nail treatments.
Specific Business Types and Employee Hiring If you plan to start a business like a restaurant, beauty salon, nail salon, or construction, you must hire employees. When your staff or clientele are Japanese, it’s essential to have the language skills necessary for effective communication and instruction, whether in Japanese or English.
Exceptions for Certain Industries For businesses in consulting, international trade, or software development, initially hiring staff may not be required. However, these businesses should aim to employ staff in the medium to long term.
