Changes to Business/Management Visa Criteria

The criteria for the Business/Management visa have been updated. From October 16, 2025, applicants must employ at least one full-time staff member and have Japanese language proficiency, particularly a JLPT N2 level or above. Current holders of this visa have a three-year grace period. Although new standards must eventually be met, good business and tax compliance will be considered. For full details, always refer to official resources.
