Key Points of Japan's Latest Immigration Policy (2025 Revision Direction)
The Japanese Ministry of Justice has proposed draft amendments to tighten regulations for Business Manager Visa:
• Registered capital will be increased from 5 million yen to 30 million yen;
• There must be genuine employment and verifiable business activities in Japan;
• The review process will strengthen verification of the source of funds, business model, and operational sustainability.
This means:
• Relying on "shell companies," "false leases," and "informal employment" methods makes it almost impossible to get approval or renewals.
• Only genuine business operations and stable cash flow can ensure long-term visa stability and compliance.
(Note: The final implementation standards are subject to announcements from the Ministry of Justice and the Immigration Bureau of Japan. People Impact strictly adheres to these regulations throughout the entire process.)
Common Misconceptions
Why Japanese Visas Are Not “Easy to Obtain
In the past, due to the low barrier to entry, a large number of non-compliant practices (shell companies, fake offices, and short-term employment) occurred, leading to increased approval and renewal risks.
Simply relying on "document submission" does not guarantee long-term identity; genuine operations, stable cash flow, and compliant employment are the core of renewals.
Most agencies only handle first-time applications and lack long-term operational support, leaving clients at risk when renewing their visas or applying for permanent residency.
People Impact's Commitment — We Ensure "Secure Visa Approval and Peace of Mind for Renewals"
Strict Compliance, Official Standards as the Baseline
We operate according to the latest rules from the Japanese Immigration Bureau and the Ministry of Justice, planning in advance according to proposed revised standards (including increased capital and employment requirements) to ensure compliance with official reviews and subsequent checks.
Providing Genuine Operating Projects (Mature Educational Businesses), Sustainable and Auditable
We offer applicants educational projects that have been operating stably in Japan for many years (real stores/offices, genuine products and services, stable student sources and revenue, compliant accounts). These projects have been validated through local practice and can operate effectively after entry, continuously creating jobs in Japan — critical for visa renewal and long-term compliance.
Genuine Job Creation and Localized Operational Support
Our projects have established hiring and management systems in Japan (local employees, financial accounting, tax declarations, daily operational records), directly meeting Japan’s requirements for "actual employment and operations," thereby reducing renewal risks from the source.
Renewal and Long-Term Support (Not a One-Time Service)
Our services cover the entire visa lifecycle: from company establishment, business planning, and daily operational support to initial renewals, subsequent renewals, and strategy planning for permanent residency applications — truly realizing the commitment to "help you obtain your visa and support you in maintaining it."
