Hi! ILm 23 and ILm going to Japan for the first time next spring. I have an idea about opening a business in Tokyo or Osaka that could actually work; so apart from leisure ILll take some time in Japan investigating if my idea has chances to succeed. My question is about visa; everytime I look for visa info, it seems that you can only apply for a working visa if youLre going to work for somebody; what if you want to open a business?? What kind of visa should apply for?? Thanks in advance for any answers

You will have to get a work visa as "Investor/Business Manager". The criteria for this visa are very strict, otherwise, everybody would simply enter Japan by setting up a small business.
Specifically, you will need 1) your office to be located in Japan 2) to employ at least two full-time employees (excluding directors) in Japan who are Japanese nationals or permanent residents.

I find no problem with that; my idea is about opening a shop, so I would need people working there anyway!!!
