Q72: However, in practice, are there cases where a visa becomes necessary for bank account opening or involvement in management activities?

A: Yes.

Explanation

When a foreigner establishes a company in Japan and is involved in opening a bank account or management activities, they usually need to have a valid residence status in Japan. Foreigners without a residence status may find it difficult to open personal accounts at Japanese banks, potentially hindering company establishment and management activities.
