Q71: Why is a visa not required for foreigners to establish a company in Japan?

A: Previously, to establish a company in Japan, at least one representative had to have a residence in Japan to apply for company registration. However, this restriction was abolished in 2015. Therefore, a visa is not necessary merely for the establishment of a company by a foreigner in Japan.
