A: Basically, there is no difference in ease of acquisition between a Japanese corporation and a Japanese branch.
Q: Why are both equally challenging?
Regarding the acquisition of residency status, the Immigration Bureau comprehensively evaluates the applicant's background and potential. Specifically, the applicant's academic background, work history, and the potential of the Japanese corporation or branch they will join are considered. Therefore, the ease of acquisition does not depend on the form of market entry but rather on choosing the option that best fits the business deployment scheme.
Q: What are the Immigration Bureau's criteria for review?
While some parts of the Immigration Bureau's review criteria are not public, it is crucial that the application documents include a business plan and specific explanatory materials. These documents are required to demonstrate that the applicant has plans to exhibit management capabilities in Japan and contribute to the Japanese economy.
Q: Specifically, what information is needed?
Detailed business plans or visions, data showing employment promotion in Japan, or positive impacts on the economy are important. Organizing these pieces of information properly and submitting them to the Immigration Bureau will help the review process proceed smoothly.
