Foreign citizens must be granted the "Investor/Business Manager"
resident status as stipulated by the Ministry of Justice when they set
up offices to do business. In Japan, companies are classified into the
following 4 categories: corporations, incorporated companies, unlimited
partnerships, and limited partnerships. The capital required for establishing
a company is as follows: approximately 10,000,000 yen for corporations
and approximately 3,000,000 yen for incorporated companies. Fees for establishing
and registering a company are approximately 400,000 yen. If you wish to
establish a company, please consult lawyers, licensed tax accountants,
or notary publics.

The standards of landing permission for "Investor/Business Manager"
are stipulated in the "Ministerial decree stipulating the standard
of Paragraph 2, Sub-section 1, Article 7 in Immigration-Control and Refugee-Recognition
Act". One of the standards reads: "The relevant business must
be operated on a scale that more than 2 full-time working staff who reside
in Japan are employed in addition to those engaged in management and administration
in said business establishment." However, there is no particular stipulation
in Ministerial decree regarding the amount of investment, capital, sales
proceeds and so forth of said business establishments. "Working staff
who reside in Japan" mentioned here refer to Japanese, special permanent
residents, and those who reside in Japan with resident status of "permanent
resident," "Spouse or Child of Japanese National," "Spouse
or Child of Permanent Resident," and "Long Term Resident."
In case said business establishments do not employ more than 2 full-time working staff, immigration authorities stipulate that the guideline of the scale of said business establishments must be so that the amount of investment for initiating the new enterprise exceed 5 million yen annually. 5 million yen, mentioned here as the amount of investment, does not refer to the amount of capital of corporations and incorporated companies, but to the amount invested for initiating business management. The remainder of the invested money used for opening business establishments and purchasing business equipment can be administered as reserve funds. In addition to this, business establishments must maintain over 5 million yen every year for annual investment as described above. Needless to say, the enterprise must be operated in a continual and stable manner.
「出入国管理及び難民認定法第７条第１項第２号の基準を定める省令」において、「投資・経営」の上陸許可の基準のひとつとして、「当該事業がその経営又は管理に従事する者以外に二人以上の本邦に居住する者で常勤の職員が従事して営まれる規模のものであること」と規定していますが、投資額、資本金、売上金等については、基準省令上の規定はありません。なおここで言う「本邦に居住する者」には、日本人、特別永住者のほか、「永住者」「日本人の配偶者等」、「永住者の配偶者等」及び「定住者」の在留資格をもって在留する者が該当します。
次に二人以上の常勤職員を雇用しない場合について、入国管理局では、その規模のガイドラインを新規事業を開始しようとする場合の投資額が年間５００万円以上であることを定めています。投資額の５００万円以上というのは、株式会社や有限会社の資本金の額ではなく、実際に事業の経営を開始するために投資した資金の額を指します。投資された資金で事務所の開設、事務機器購入などに使用された残額は、準備金として保管することもできます。さらに、年間５００万円以上の投資額が継続して維持されることが必要です。事業が継続的、安定的に営まれることを要することは言うまでもありません。

You must notify the immigration authorities of and change in status of
residence. If foreign citizens should continue to run their language schools
under the resident status of "Specialists in Humanities/International
Relations," they are considered to be in violation of resident status,
which counts against future renewal or alteration of resident status.
