Hello from Shin-Osaka station😀☀️
Going back to Tokyo🚄👍

With a Specialist in Humanities/International Services visa;
1 You can establish your company.
2 However, you can't do your business unless you change it into a business manager visa.

Let's check the points.
1 You can establish your company.

1-1 You have a residence card.
1-2 Having a residence card means you can have your personal bank account and can register your personal seal.
They are necessary to establish your company.
1-3 When you apply for your company registration, the registrar will proceed with your application regardless of the type of status of residence (visa).
They are not the inspectors of immigration bureau.
So, they don't care about your status.

2 You can't do your business with a Specialist in Humanities/International Services visa.

2-1 Specialist in Humanities/International Services is the visa to work under someone/company.
2-2 You are required to work in an organization/institution.
2-3 Making a company means doing a business and it is out of the purpose of a Specialist in Humanities/International Services visa.

3 You need to change it into a business manager visa.

3-1 It is illegal to do your business with a Specialist in Humanities/International Services.
3-2 You need to change your status into a business manager visa.
3-3 After changing, your activity matches your status of residence, so you can do your business legally.

Conclusion:
1 Even if you make your company, you can't do your business with a Specialist in Humanities/International Services visa.
2 To do so, you need to change your working visa into a business manager visa.

With a 4-month business manager visa, you can prepare and expand your business in Japan by yourself.

“I have an idea of an expansion plan for my business.”
“I have my capital to invest.”
“But I don't have any supporters in Japan.”

“What should I do?”

A 4-month business manager visa can make the below possible:

1 Getting a residence card
You can get a residence card at the airport when you come to Japan.
As a residence card holder, you can do these 3 things.

1-1 You can have your personal address in Japan.
1-2 You can register your personal seal at the city hall of your place.
1-3 You can open your personal bank account.

2 Setting up your company
Address, personal seal, and bank account are necessary items to make your company.
Now, you have all of them.

2-1 Deciding your office address and getting a contract.
2-2 Putting the amount of capital into your bank account
2-3 Applying for your company registration

3 Getting a 1-year business manager visa
After all preparations are done, the final step is to apply for a 1-year visa.

3-1 Applying for an extension of your visa to get a 1-year.
A 4-month business manager visa is for the purpose of setting up your business.
So, to start your business activity at full extent, you need to apply for its extension.

3-2 Getting a business license from the police
For example, to do used cars/parts business, you need to get a license for handling used items from the police.

3-3 Enrolling auctions
Without the business license, you can't enroll in any auctions.
So, the license is crucial to your car business.

After that, according to your business achievement, you should renew your visa every 1 to 5 years.

3 After you get A 4-month business manager visa

3-1 You can start preparation.
Now, you can come to Japan.
You can register your personal address and personal seal.
And you can open your personal bank account.

3-2-1 The next step is to get your office location and address.
A virtual office is not allowed.
A real office is necessary.
You can't use your personal address (home) as your office.
Your office needs to be other place from your personal address (home).

3-2-2 Then, you deposit your 5 million yen into your personal bank account.
-----------------------------------------
3-3 Final stage
Now, you are in the final stage.
There are 3 things remaining to do.

3-3-1 Setting up your company
You can prepare everything you need to set up your company.
This is thanks to your own 4-month business manager visa.

After you set up your company, you can apply for visa renewal.
This is the procedure to get a 1-year business manager visa.

3-3-3 Getting business license

This license is to handle used cars/parts under your company name.

3 wrong ideas about visa change into a business manager
------------------------------------------------------------------
1 With a visit visa, you can't make your company and change it into a business manager visa.

1-1 With a visit visa, you can't get a residence card.
Residence card is necessary to register your address and personal seal.

And residence card holders can open a bank account in Japan.
To make your company, a personal seal and bank account are must items.

1-2 Therefore, you can't make your company by yourself.
And also, you can't change the visitor visa into a business manager.

1-3 The solution is to apply for a COE (Certificate of Eligibility).
You need to go back to your country once.
And then, you should apply for a COE for a business manager.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
2 It is almost impossible to change from a designated activities visa (refugee applicant) to a business manager.
Even if you make a company, the possibility is very low.

2-1 A business manager visa is not a "Life-prolonging measure" for your stay in Japan.

2-2 Applying for a designated activities visa itself is like telling a lie to immigration office.

2-3 Therefore, even if you make a company in Japan, immigration office will not believe your explanation.
--------------------------------------------------
3 You can't get a business manager visa from a "preparation for departure" (30-day) visa.

3-1 This is a visa for preparation for departure.

3-2 Once you get it, there is no way to turn the situation in your favor.

3-3 Therefore, you need to leave Japan.
Later, you can apply for a COE.
However, they keep your past application record.
So, if your explanation is different from the past one, the disapproval rate will be high.
------------------------------------------
Conclusion:
1 Giving up the idea that as long as I can come to Japan, there is a way to survive.

2 Before coming to Japan, make/prepare your solid business/funding plan. It's a very basic action for a business person.

3 Get a COE and enter Japan properly.
COE is like a "green light" for you to land in Japan.
----------------------------------------------------------
The right idea and right procedure can help you.
So, we need to keep this phrase in mind all the time:
"Heaven helps those who help themselves."

Hello from Tanimachi 6-chome station, Osaka🚇☔️😀

05/01/2025

Glider and Plane:

Both can fly.
However, a glider can't fly by itself.
On the other hand, a plane can fly by itself.

A car dealer/exporter with or without a business base in Japan:
Both can buy cars.
However, if you are not in Japan, you can't buy cars by yourself.
On the other hand, if you are in Japan, you can buy cars by yourself.

Continuing to keep using auction dealers/exporters in Japan is like using a glider.
If they demand high fees/margins, there is no way other than following it.

If you want to fly by yourself, you should get an engine.
A 4-month business manager visa is like an engine.
This enables your business to fly freely.
-----------------------------------------------
Before and after coming to Japan, there are 3 parts to do to start your business.

1 Getting a 4-month business manager visa

1-1 This is not a visitor visa. This is a 4-month business manager visa.
1-2 A 4-month business manager visa is for those who want to set up their business base in Japan.
1-3 To get the 4-month visa, you need a certificate of eligibility (COE). You apply for it through a legal agent in Japan.

2 Coming to Japan and Getting a residence card

2-1 At the Japanese embassy, you submit the COE and get a visa on your passport.
2-2 You come to Japan. At an airport, you get a residence card.
2-3 With this card, you can have your address, personal seal and your personal bank account in Japan.

3 Setting up your company and getting a 1-year visa

3-1 You set up your company with the capital size of 5 million yen in Japan.
3-2 You apply for a visa extension to get a 1-year visa.
3-3 You can start your business earnestly.

There are many things to do.
But, when you divide it into some parts, you can surely do it.
Don't worry.
I will accompany you from the start to end.

𝟮-𝟮 𝗔𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄

Not all the embassy staff are well educated.
Some don't understand the meaning of a 4-month business manager visa.
So, we need to explain about it.
"A4-month business manager visa is for those who want to establish a company in Japan."
"To do so, I applied for it through my lawyer in Japan."
"After arriving in Japan, I will start preparation immediately."

The validity of visa and validity of eligibility is different.

For example, Suppose if
Validity date of eligibility is 5th, May 2024
Validity date of visa is 5th, June 2024

In this case, your validity date is 5th May.

In short, you need to come to Japan by the expiration date of your eligibility.

You need to report your address when you decide on your apartment.
You need to do so within 14 days after you rent your house.

Since you have only 120 days, you need to do it as soon as possible.
Until you decide your house, maybe you stay at your friend's house, etc.

In this case, you need to tell your agent/lawyer where to stay for the time being.

To keep your business manager visa after the next renewal as well, you have to apply for it.

In this way, you can bloom your flowers or grow trees.
I hope you will be successful.

Thank you.

My first dream in 2025😁
Good night😪😴🌉

02/01/2025

In general, before applying for a business manager visa, you need to establish your company with a capital size of 5 million yen.

Just registering the company is not enough, but to make sure to get a business manager visa, from your side, you need to explain about how you have prepared the amount.

This explanation needs to be detailed.

Let's check 1) the way of proving, 2) bringing and 3) depositing it in each section.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 The way of proving (how you have made/prepared the amount)

1-1 In case the amount comes from your business:

To show that the amount comes from your business, usually, you need to submit these documents such as:

・Return of income
・Wealth statement
・Taxpayer profile inquiry
・Taxpayer registration certificate
・Bank statement of your personal account (Joint account is not allowed.)

These are the basic documents you need to submit in every case.

1-2 In case the amount comes from the aid/support from your family

In addition to the above documents (1-1), you need to prepare the below documents:

Agreement (about the support)
Family registration certificate
The supporter's copy of passport and national ID card

1-3 In case the amount comes from your property selling

In addition to the above documents (1-1), you need to prepare the below documents:

Property selling documents (if they are written in Urdu, you need to prepare an English translated version, too.)
------------------------------------------------------------
2 The way of bringing/carrying the amount to Japan

2-1 Carrying/Bringing it directly/in hand
If possible, it is the very and the simplest way.
However, I hear, the authorities in Pakistan do not allow you to carry such a huge amount overseas.
So, you need to check the regulations carefully in advance.

2-2 Transferring the amount to your account in Japan
As I will explain in 3-2, you can open your personal bank account in Japan with a 4-month business manager visa.
Therefore, you can send the amount from overseas to your account in Japan.

2-3 Borrowing the amount temporarily from your friends/relatives in Japan
This way can be used as the last, emergency way when you can't use the way 2-1 and 2-2.
Borrow the amount and deposit it into your account.
--------------------------------------------
3 The way of depositing the amount

3-1 You need to deposit the amount into your own personal account in Japan.

3-2 With a 4-month business manager visa, you can open your account.
Since you are a residence card holder, you can open your account.
You don't need to borrow someone's account to deposit.

3-3 After depositing it, you can register your company.
Opening your account and depositing the amount into it.
And then, you need to make a copy of your bank account book.

This money belongs to you.
You don't need to deposit it to the government nor will they take it away.
You can use it for your own use.

The points you should include in your business plan of a 4-month business manager visa.

Let's check this topic by following the 3 points.

𝟭 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗲𝘁 𝘂𝗽 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗝𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗻

𝟭-𝟭 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗲𝘁 𝘂𝗽 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗝𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗻

Without reason, nothing can start.
When you want to start your car business in Japan, there surely are the reasons that move you.
What is your reason?

𝟭-𝟮 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗵𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝘂𝗽 𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗹 𝗻𝗼𝘄

You are not an amateur.
To show you are an experienced car dealer, in this section, explain your history.

𝟭-𝟯 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗼𝗻

After you set up your business, how do you plan to develop your business?
If you can't explain it by your own words, no one can help you.

𝟮 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝘀/𝗰𝗮𝗿 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘀

𝟮-𝟭 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝘀/𝗰𝗮𝗿 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘀

There are some ways to get cars/parts.
Some take part in auctions, and others buy from their fellow dealers, etc.
What is your method of getting them?

𝟮-𝟮 𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗹𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘀...

If you have any connection with local dealers in Japan, make a list of them you are going to deal with.
And also, it's better to show their business cards.

𝟮-𝟯 𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘀...

In this case, you need to explain how you find the dealers.

𝟯 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝘀/𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗝𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗻

𝟯-𝟭 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝘀/𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗣𝗮𝗸𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻 𝗼𝗿 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗮𝘀?

If you are a dealer, I guess you already have your sales route or channel in Pakistan or overseas.
So, you need to explain about it.

It is not good just to say, "I am going to buy used cars in Japan."

In Pakistan, in African countries, in Caribbean countries, every market has a different taste of the cars, I suppose.

So, you need to explain about what type of cars you are going to buy mainly.
The same goes for car parts.

I will guide you one by one if you use my service, but I usually ask my clients to prepare the documents below.

The list of cars/car parts you are going to buy in Japan.
Business cars of the dealers in Pakistan (overseas)
Business affiliate agreement with local dealers, etc.

I hope these explanations will help you.
Thank you.

“I want a "work permit", "business manager visa" or any other visa that allows me to come to Japan.”

I don't answer this kind of question.
If you want to get answers from immigration lawyers,
don't say "I want to come to Japan."
Instead, you need to explain why you need to get a visa.

In your mind, you may think;
"Any visa is OK as long as I can come to Japan."
"After landing, I can apply for a refugee visa and stay continuously."

"Good old days" have gone.
The model can't be used anymore.
--------------------------------------------
If you want to set up your business base for car exporting and start your own business in Japan, you need to think about a business manager visa, not a "work-permit."

1 Work permit

Actually, in Japan, we don't have a visa called a "work permit."

1- 1 Generally speaking, a status of residence (visa) that "Engineer/Specialist in Humanities/International Services" is equivalent to "work permit."

1-2 This is the visa for working under a company/institution.
Though the owner of the residence card is you, once you lose the job/work and don't work, you need to leave Japan in principle.
That is to say, even if there is a remaining time/period of stay, you are not allowed to stay in Japan unless you find the next workplace.

1-3 You can't do/choose any job you want.
Under the "Engineer/Specialist in Humanities/International Services" visa, you can only do the work that relates to your working/educational background or skill.
----------------------------------------------
2 Business Manager visa

A business manager visa is a status of residence that allows you to do your own business activity.

2-1 You invest your capital in your business and you can be your company owner.

2-2 You can also be the manager of your own company.
That is to say, as the investor/owner, you can appoint yourself as your company director.
This is the big reason why you should choose a limited liability company (GODO kaisha) as your company form.

2-3 Since this is your business and company, it all up to your own effort whether you can get renewal or not.
As long as your business goes well, you can renew your visa.
----------------------------------------------------------------
3 The short/tentative goal for a business manager visa.

The big goal for a business manager visa is of course to make a big gain/profit through your business.
However, in this section, I would like to focus on the short-term goal.

3-1 Getting a 4-month business manager visa

A 4-month business manager visa is a visa to prepare for your business activity in Japan.
The aim of getting the 4-month visa is to get a 1-year business manager visa.

3-2 Getting a 1-year business manager visa
After all preparation is done, you can apply for the period of extension of your 4-month business manager visa.

3-3 After getting a 1-year visa, you can start your business earnestly.

Usually, after you get a 1-year business manager visa and your new residence card, you can apply for a business license for used car/car parts dealings to prefectural police stations.
After a while (30 to 40 days later), you will get the license.
And then, you can start buying/selling cars under your company name legally.

New year starts with Ozoni, a soup dish with rice cake😀☀️🎍

Year end greetings 2024

(Winter break day 16) Year end greetings 2024😀 How are your holidays? Today is December 30, 2024. 2024 was my second year in Shinjuku, Tokyo. In March 2020, I moved my office from Osaka to Ikebukuro, Tokyo. At that time, we were in the pandemic. I remember the scene on the Shinkansen bullet train, from Osaka to Tokyo. There were only 3 passengers including me in my car. Now, we can see many visitors here and there in Japan. What I learned from the incident/accident was the importance of being flexible to the situation. The pandemic forced me to communicate with you via the internet only, but this brought new life to my business as an immigration lawyer. I learned how to contact/communicate with you overseas. This was quite important for me. For example, to apply for a certificate of eligibility for a 4-month business manager visa, we need to communicate a lot. By using WhatsApp, email and google drive, we could exchange documents and photos. So, there were many cases where we didn't meet each other until my client came to Japan. From next year, I will concentrate on 3 fields. Number 1 is business manager visa application. Number 2 is real estate transactions for people from overseas. Number 3 is a visa for caregiving. As for permanent resident application, actually, it is determined by your own situation such as paying tax and pension properly. So, even if you use lawyers, there is nothing we can do for you. I am not interested in handling PR, which will not improve my ability. Therefore, as for PR applications, please ask other lawyers. I hope 2025 will be prosperous for you. Whatever happens around us, let's keep our mind calm. Be honest, cool and beautiful. That's all. Thank you for watching/reading.

(Winter break day 10) Happy holiday😀🤶🎄🎅

They are lay people as per the immigration law of Japan.

Don't use a travel consultant or agency. They are lay people as per the immigration law of Japan. You don't need to take such a roundabout way. So, if you want to set up your business base in Japan, and want to get a business manager visa, contact me directly. You are a business person. Time is precious for us. You should ask me directly. This is the best short cut to a business manager visa. That's all. Take care.

I got an email like this from a Pakistani immigration lawyer:

Today's topic is about Don't use Pakistani immigration lawyers in Pakistan when you apply for a Japanese business manager visa. =================================== I got an email like this from a Pakistani immigration lawyer: I am an immigration and investment lawyer practicing in Pakistan. My office is in District Courts Gujranwala. I know you through the internet. As I need a lawyer in Japan to help my clients. This will not only be beneficial for me but also for you as I can help you and your Pakistani clients to complete any legal assignment without any mistake. ============================= It seems to have no problem, but there are some bad points. 1 You probably have to pay an additional fee to him. If you use my service via him, of course you have to pay a lawyer fee to me. And he also charges his own fee to you unless he is a volunteer. 2 As an immigration lawyer in Japan, I need to contact you directly. To avoid misunderstanding each other, lawyers and clients must communicate directly all the time. This is our obligation as an immigration lawyer in Japan and of course it is applicable to clients overseas. However, if you use him as a liaison office, he might not tell me your information correctly. 3 He doesn't know about Japanese immigration law and rules. He knows Pakistani immigration law, but we apply for a business manager visa in Japan. Therefore, his knowledge of Pakistani law is good for nothing. Basically, he is powerless about applying for a business manager visa. Therefore, even if I get a message like this, I don't offer any help to the lawyers. The only thing I can do is to help you directly. Thanks to the internet, we can communicate without problem and time difference. So, if you need a lawyer's help, contact me directly.

I have seen many cases of rejection where other lawyers handled or the applicants applied for by themselves due to lack of understanding the definition of "office."

Today's topic is: Examples of permission and refusal when using a "residence" as a business office. Actually, I have seen many cases of rejectionwhere other lawyers handled or the applicants applied for by themselves due to lack of understanding the definition of "office." Immigration office opens some example cases of approval and rejection about "office." So, today, I will share the approval cases with you with my comment. As for refusal cases, I will share them in the next video. OK, let's check. ---------------------------- Approval Case 1: Mr. A applied for a status change for a business manager visa. He wanted to run a privately owned restaurant in Japan. Although the purpose of use on the lease agreement was "residence," he made a special agreement with the landlord allowing the property to be used as a "company office." Immigration office recognized that he secured his place of business. Comment: This case shows that even if the property is for residential use, as long as you can get agreement with or consent from the owner about office use, you can use it as your office. ----------------------------------------------------- Approval Case 2: Mr.B applied for a Certificate of Eligibility for a business manager visa. He stated that he would run the import/export and processing/sales of marine products in Japan. The head office was the home of an executive officer, but his company's branch office was in a property that he rented from the local Chamber of Commerce. Immigration office recognized that he secured his place of business. Comment: This case shows that even if the head office on the registry is in one's house, as long as you can prepare another place as your office, Immigration office recognizes that you secure your place of business. -------------------------------- Approval Case 3: Mr. C established a joint stock company in Japan and applied for a Certificate of Eligibility for a business manager visa. He set his company address

For example, if you set up your business base and register your company in Tokyo, can you do your activity in other prefectures as well?

Today's topic is about the place of activity after you get a business manager visa. I got a question like this: When I open my company in Japan, can I work all over Japan? There are 47 prefectures in Japan. For example, if you set up your business base and register your company in Tokyo, can you do your activity in other prefectures as well? The answer is yes. Even if your company is in the Tokyo area, you can do your activity in any other prefecture. Because a business manager visa is to do your business in Japan. Of course, to do a used car business, you need to get a business license from Tokyo prefectural police. However, when you get it, you can do your activity in other places. For example, you can take part in auctions in other prefectures, as long as you have membership (of the auction). =============================== Inquiry for a business manager visa: Send your message through the below WhatsApp link. https://wa.me/message/6HMO3JNL2PF6N1 I will ask you some questions.

Procession of horse-drawn carriages at the Ceremony of the Presentation of Credentials

This morning, I happened to have the chance to see horse-drawn carriages for "the Ceremony of the Presentation of Credentials." A newly appointed foreign ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary presents his/her credentials to His Majesty the Emperor. To meet the Emperor, the ambassador takes a carriage from Tokyo station front gate.

About your former application record

1 If you applied for a temporary visitor visa or certificate of eligibility before but it was rejected, you need to tell me about it in advance. 2 Actually, on the application form for a certificate of eligibility, they ask you if you have past history of applying for COE, times of application and times of rejection. 3 In addition to that, if you have rejection records and want to apply for COE again, you need to be very careful about the contents you filled in on the form last time and the contents you will fill in this time. 4 I mean, if they are different from this time and the last time, immigration office might have doubts about your application. 5 So, you should be careful and be responsible for your own explanation. 6 If you frequently change your own history and explanation, from lawyers' point of view, I would feel insincerity to your attitude and documents.
