Friends who want to register a company in Japan will definitely put a lot of effort into choosing a company location.
Recently, friends often ask which city is better to register a company.
Today I will introduce to you some tips on choosing a city when setting up a company.
First of all, everyone needs to understand a major premise. The company’s registration place determines which immigration bureau will review the visa materials.
When applying for a business management visa, you need to submit visa application materials to the Immigration Bureau where the company is registered.
Although the most basic review standards are unified, after all, it is reviewed by people, and the reviewer has an emotional component. Due to the different reviewers, the degree of leniency of the visa review will be different.
Therefore, not to mention different immigration bureaus, there will be many differences in the review methods and the degree of leniency.
Of course, these will not be written on the official website of the Immigration Bureau. These are the experiences accumulated from dealing with the Immigration Bureau for many years. I hope it will bring some help to everyone.
There are 8 regional immigration bureaus in Japan:
• Tokyo Immigration Bureau
•Osaka Immigration and Residence Bureau
•NagoyaImmigration and Residence Bureau
•Sapporo Immigration and Residence Bureau
• Sendai Immigration and Residence Bureau
•Hiroshima Immigration and Residence Bureau
• Takamatsu Immigration Bureau
• Fukuoka Immigration Bureau
There are also branches and offices under the management of these 8 immigration bureaus. Branch offices and offices are set up to facilitate the procedures for people in the city where they are located. Applications can be submitted to the local branch office or office, or to the General Administration.
For example: If you establish a company in Kyoto, you can submit an application to the Kyoto office of the Osaka Immigration Bureau, or you can submit an application directly to the Osaka Immigration Bureau.
You can confirm the jurisdiction of each immigration bureau to determine which immigration bureau your visa application belongs to.
If you have a feasible business plan, a large investment scale, the initial investment and business license are in place, and you can start operating at any time, you can ignore the application area and basically apply for a business management visa at all immigration bureaus. .
However, if the initial investment is small, the career plan is not very complete, and you want to come to Japan to try it out before deciding what to do, it is recommended to apply for a visa in an application area that is less difficult to apply for.
Because companies are registered in Tokyo, Osaka and other places, there are many cases of applying for business management visas. Based on past experience, I will use these two as examples to explain.
Tokyo Immigration and Residence Bureau
Tokyo Immigration and Residence Bureau is full Japan visa is the Immigration Bureau with the most applications. At the same time, the review standards are relatively strict. When a company registered in the area under the jurisdiction of the Tokyo Immigration Bureau applies for a business management visa, it will conduct a business review for the company in the future. According to the evaluation, companies with small initial investment and no physical business have relatively low signing rates.
Osaka Immigration and Residence Bureau
Compared with the jurisdiction of the Osaka Immigration and Residence Bureau, companies with the same small investment and no physical business have a much higher approval rate when applying for a business management visa, so you can apply based on Determine where to apply based on your own actual circumstances.
Many friends will ask, my initial investment is small and I have no business, but I just want to live in Tokyo. What should I do if I run a company in Tokyo? Here is a little trick for you.
First of all, the company's headquarter address can be changed. You can first set the company's registration place in Osaka and submit a visa application in Osaka. After coming to Japan, move the company address to Tokyo. This solves a problem of running a company in Tokyo.
Someone will ask again, when my company moves to Tokyo, when I renew my visa, the Tokyo Immigration Bureau should review my visa. Will the visa be refused if there is no physical entity?
Because the visa recognition applied for when entering Japan for the first time and the visa renewal applied for in Japan are not at the same level of strictness, the basic conditions must be met when renewing the visa, and a general explanation of the reason for the change of company address. If the renewal is rejected, The possibility is very, very low.
Therefore, when registering a company in Japan and applying for a business management visa, you must choose the review area based on your actual situation. In order to get the visa smoothly. This is the experience of being in this industry for many years. I hope it can bring some help to everyone.
