Or, a Business Manager Visa can be required, which is valid for four months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though the precise requirements may differ subject to each individual\u2019s particular circumstances, in order to obtain an entrepreneur visa, the applicant will have to provide evidence that he or she has a business address in Japan, the investment details, a business plan and proof that he or she will offer employment for local workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Applying for a certificate of eligibility in Japan is a complex process which takes time.
