Japan's new 1-year-startup visa

EntrePass is a startup visa program for international entrepreneurs in Singapore. It's valid for up to two years. Additionally, it’s available to any entrepreneur who has or plans to start up a private limited firm registered with Singapore’s Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority Singapore, and hold a minimum 30 percent share in the company. As a result, the country has been famous as entrepreneur-friendly.

In the last several years, a number of international cities have adopted this type of visa in order to catch up with other innovation-driven cities like Silicon Valley, London, etc.

Here in Japan, the Japanese government provides foreign entrepreneurs with a startup visa to prepare for their startups in Japan too. However, the visa is only available in Tokyo and Fukuoka as special economic zones.

However, the government requires you to show the complete feasibility of their businesses when submitting the visa application, asking you to open an office for the startup, to hire more than 2 permanent residents, or being funded ¥5, not to mention, it's so difficult and been claimed.

Hence, the government will launch a new one-year startup visa, extending the stay period from 6 months to one year and allowing international entrepreneurs to work on their venture projects anywhere in Japan.
