<The company establishment by a foreigner> ⇒English Form 


Can a foreigner establish a company in Japan?


As for the foreigner, company establishment  in itself is possible in Japan.
 
  But attention is necessary concerning a visa when a foreigner acts as a director, and run  a company.

If a foreigner has this kind of visas, 

(1) Japanese spouses

(2) A permanent resident

(3) A permanent resident

(4) Spouses of a permanent resident 

He or She can act as a director and run a company.

However, for example,

(5) Humanities knowledge / an international business
(6) Technology
(7) A skill
  
It is not possible the person who gets a residence qualification with a limit from  activity takes office as a director, Representative Director in particular, and to be active basically.

  In this case,to run aconpany, it is necessary to get a residence qualification,as it  were,"investment management".


 <Matters that require attention when a foreigner or a foreign company establishes a company>
  

Signature sealing in one articles of association making, matters that require attention about articles of association certification procedure of a notary public
  
  A promoter makes articles of association and I sign my name and seal it. About sealing, I have to push a registered seal.
    
 If I stay in Japan and do alien registration and register a seal, there is not a problem because it is similar to a Japanese, but a seal or the signature that an own country government official proves is necessary when it is not so.

Please refer to both notary offices of Japan / an own country for the details.


Matters that require attention about payment of two capital

 Payment of capital is OK if I transfer the ante that did undertaking to the bank account which a promoter has.

And transfer is limited to the head office of a bank receiving the establishment authorization or a branch by Japanese Financial Services Agency.
    
    
 If a bank of an own country establishes a Japanese branch receiving the establishment authorization from Financial Services Agency, I make an account in the branch and transfer it to an account of the branch.

At this chance should be a yen-based bank account, but build money;Because you must exceed the ante that you transfer it, and an amount of money undertakes it and did that you did, in the case of a bank account, please warn yen conversion in an exchange rate of the day to do transfer.
  


Matters that require attention about Representative Director 3

At first, as for one, a thing having an address is necessary for Japan among directors at least at least.

Therefore, intention to become a director please do alien registration by all means to prove a thing having an address in Japan.


When I look every case,
   
(1) A case of a small company like Director one: As for the director, a thing having an address is necessary for Japan.
    
(2) The company which does not establish the board of directors with plural directors: If one has an address in Japan, among the plural directors, it is OK.

(3) With plural directors, the board of directors does not install it, but Representative Director is a company to choose: As for the Representative Director, a thing having an address is necessary for Japan.

(4) Representative Director of board of directors establishment company: A thing having an address is necessary for Japan.



4, matters that require attention about authorization


When I do business in construction industry and business of offering food and entertainment, a thrift shop even if a foreigner establishes a company in Japan, authorization is necessary.

And, in the case of authorization application, it is necessary that I can advance carefully when there is a foreigner among officers to constitute because I can have what the residence qualification that can act gets as a matter.


<reference: It is> about an investment management visa


It is necessary for I establish a company in Japan, and own country saying that I make a company in Japan which wants to run a restaurant and want to do business to acquire "an investment / management" visa.

The substantial duties that it relates to management of a business such as Mayor of Representative Director / director / inspector / director / factory / a branch manager or management to need this investment / management visa are active foreigner.

Because corporate management is possible in Japan if there is this visa, is a very worth visa; can ask it it.

But to acquire this residence qualification,


(1) An institution to use as a business establishment being secured in Japan

(2) Being the scale that the regular staffs (a Japanese / a permanent resident / a Japanese spouse, spouses of a permanent resident, permanent resident) more than two people living in Japan other than a manager or a manager engage, and is run

※ But I can apply if I satisfy a constant condition when I cannot employ the regular staff more than two people.

(3) When I am going to engage in management of a business, I have experiences more than three years about management of a business or management(I include it for a pertinence subject observance of a contract period of a graduate school.) I have it and a Japanese receive the equal above-mentioned reward を when I engage 

is necessary.

"A company business is legal, and it is a legitimate thing", and, in addition, and "stability, continuity" are asked, and the matter which is severer than a working visa is imposed when I easily say.

Therefore a procedure for the visa acquisition and documents making are more troublesome than other visas, and there is it when time suffers even more unless I file properly, and permission does not go down.

 Therefore the application agency administrative scrivener who performs mainly application and substitution of an acquisition procedure completely does support till permission goes down a series of work such as consultation / documents making / presentation.

 I tried application of an investment management visa by oneself, but the which is running out of time going to application of an investment management visa please talk about communication willingly I became suppression or and I am busy.
