Hello,
My girlfriend is currently in the process of finding a job in Japan and I'd like to follow her and settle there.
I'm currently living and working in France as a Freelance (I have company for it) and I'd like to migrate my business to Japan in order to get a VISA as well (closing it in France and re-opening it in Japan). My clients are not Japanese.
I read online and was advised by friends to open a Godo Kaisha and to apply to the Business Investor VISA. However I don't speak Japanese so I'd like to hire a Gyoseishoshi for the administrative part.
There are a few things I don't understand:
- To obtain this VISA, it says that I need to already have a business, a company bank account and an office in Japan but how can I get those without owning a VISA in the first place?
- Is this VISA the best option for me? (we'd like to stay in Japan for a few years at least). Same for the Godo Kaisha?;
- Do you have Gyoseishoshi to recommend?;
- My company is 3 years old. Can its financial documents (like income) be a sufficient proof for the immigration to approve the VISA?;
- What do I miss and would need to prepare to properly open my company in Japan and obtain a VISA?
I really no nothing yet about opening businesses in Japan so thank you very much for your answers.
