Key points for the "place of business" under the Business Manager visa

For a foreign national to run a company in Japan and obtain the "Business Manager" status of residence, one requirement is securing a place of business in Japan to operate from. Even a serviced office can qualify when it meets the following conditions.

  • 1An independent, dedicated space (private room)A shared desk with no partitions, or a virtual office, is generally difficult to have recognized as a place of business.
  • 2Company registration is possible at the addressThe address must be usable as the registered head office of the company.
  • 3A contract showing continuity of businessRather than a short-term usage contract, a lease agreement is in some cases preferable.
※ The above is a general overview of commonly explained concepts. Whether an application is approved is judged case by case by the Immigration Services Agency of Japan. For decisions on eligibility and specific requirements, please consult a specialist such as an administrative scrivener (gyoseishoshi). We provide the facilities and space used as a place of business and do not guarantee that a visa will be granted.

A "lease agreement" only a licensed real estate operator can issue

During the Business Manager visa review, it is sometimes checked whether the contract for the place of business is a "facility usage contract" or a "real estate lease agreement." Many ordinary serviced offices offer only a facility usage contract and cannot issue a lease agreement.
