Business & Management Visa

The Business & Management visa of Japan applies to individuals responsible for making important decisions regarding company operations, overseeing business execution, or conducting audits. Company presidents and directors fall under the “Business” category, while department heads and factory managers responsible for overseeing company operations and business activities fall under the “Management” category.

A common scenario is when an individual working under the Engineer/Specialist in Humanities/International Services visa gets promoted to a managerial position such as department manager or branch manager. If you are being promoted, you should check whether you meet the requirements for the Management category and consider applying for a visa status change.
