An administrative scrivener can easily understand what kind of preparation is required to apply for a "business / management" visa (here referred to as a "business management visa") for the purpose of running a karaoke shop. I will explain.

XNUMX. XNUMX.Company establishment procedure

In this way, the main office and the karaoke store are required to be separate because the main office is a place where company members including the representative director perform clerical work, etc., as well as a business / management visa. In relation to this, it is assumed that the foreigner who will be the applicant will perform the management activities that are the basis of the company management, so basically the property is separated from the karaoke store where the on-site work will be done, and the place where the management activities are performed. It is desirable to maintain the independence of.

Foreigners who apply for a "business / management" visa can only perform important actions for the company in principle, so they can be used for clerical work that can be regarded as simple work, and on-site work such as customer service and cleaning at karaoke stores. You cannot engage.

For employees of these companies, I would like to issue a job offer notice or working condition notice in the name of the company at the time of applying for a "business / management" visa, and submit a copy to the Immigration Bureau.
