Changing status from College Student Visa to Business Manager Visa
"I want to change my visa status from College Student to Business Manager visa because I want to establish a company. How do I do it?"
Obtaining a Business Manager visa does not require graduating from a university, so the application is possible even if you graduated from high school.
However, changing from a Student visa to a Business Manager visa is usually difficult. Students tend to lack social experience, so they are at a disadvantage compared to working adults. One of the requirements of the Business Manager visa is "whether the applicant has the appropriate qualifications and experience to be a business manager."
Therefore, if you can wait for the right time, one way to start a business is to graduate from university and gain experience as a working adult.
If you want to start a business immediately, you will need to submit various documents proving the potential of your business, including a detailed business plan. In addition, if you want to establish a business within 180 days of graduating and change your visa status to a Business Manager visa, you can first change your visa status to a Temporary Visitor visa and stay in Japan for up to 180 days. During this time, you are allowed to establish your company.
