Business Manager Visa Japan — Fees & Costs

Our Business Manager visa support fees in Japan are clear and fixed in advance: a new application from 270,000 yen, a change of status from 250,000 yen, and a renewal from 70,000 yen (excl. tax). Company formation by a partner judicial scrivener is also available. We always provide a written estimate before you commit, and your first consultation is free. See the full breakdown below, then request a free estimate — we can also confirm whether you meet the 2025 requirements.

Government fees and office set-up costs (deposit, agency fees, etc.) are separate. The exact fee depends on your business; we provide an estimate after a free consultation.

What is included

Consulting, document preparation, the business plan (now subject to expert review under the 2025 reform), application by proxy to Immigration, response to inquiries, and follow-up for renewal. See the full application process for how each step works.

What affects the final cost

The estimate reflects the complexity of your case. Setting up a new company and applying for a Certificate of Eligibility together, sourcing the 30 million yen capital, or preparing documents from overseas can take more work than a straightforward requirements match. After your free consultation we put the agreed fee in writing, so there are no surprises later.

Separate costs to budget for

In addition to our professional fees, plan for the government revenue stamp (paid on approval), office rent and deposit, company registration tax (included in the company-formation fee above), and any translation or certification of overseas documents. The 2025 reform raised the capital requirement to 30 million yen and added a full-time staff and Japanese-language standard, which can affect set-up costs.

Frequently asked questions

How much does the Business Manager visa cost in total?

Our support fee starts from 270,000 yen (excl. tax) for a new application. On top of that, budget for the government revenue stamp, office rent and deposit, and—if you also set up a company—registration tax. After a free consultation we provide a written, all-in estimate for your specific case.

Do you charge if the application is not approved?

Our fee structure and any conditions are explained in writing before you engage us, so you know exactly what you pay and when. Please ask during your free consultation and we will confirm the terms for your case.

Can you handle company formation and the visa together?

Yes. Company formation is handled by a partner judicial scrivener (KK from 270,000 yen, GK from 120,000 yen, registration tax included), and we coordinate it with your visa application so the whole process is seamless. See the process for details.
