ty for this video

Thanks for the video, very informative! hows ur business going btw?

How's your business going? Did you renew your visa?

Respect for doing all of this yourself (I assume your Japanese girlfriend was of great help!). We went the "easy" route and hired companies for all of those things (we did the whole process while Japans borders were shut tight).

Do you have any official way to get in touch for business enquiries?

I know this may be an 'old' video now, but just curious - were you already N1 level by the time you enrolled? I think I could reach N2 in another 12 months but I feel that still wouldn't be enough

We have casinos here and honestly I forget they even exist as I find gambling boring so haven't had much interest to check them out.

Huippuhyvii uniikkeja videjä ja vieläpä sopivasti huumoria, kiitos! Toivottavasti on tulossa lisää näistä kokemuksista ja muustakin elämästä sielläpäin.

Thank you for a comprehensive and fascinating exploration into the world of entrepreneurial visas in japan. This is something I have been looking into since 2015 as I wish to be able to enjoy my retirement in a country where I can be free from harassment. The cost of living in my country is too high and it is a banana republic. So I was looking at moving my amplifier repair business to japan. I visited in 2017 and spent some time with a prominent Japanese loudspeaker Restoration company in Nagahara japan. After 4 hours of discussing the business climate in Japan we both agreed that I should manufacture custom vacuum tube amplifiers and sell them. Now the problem is a lack of capital for me. I do have a house in the United States but I also am in a situation of owing a lot of back property tax. So my equity in the house may be reduced considerably. And then there's all the stress and uncertainty and being elderly this may be difficult to handle at my advanced age. But the stress of not leaving my country May soon become too great.

This was looking doable until he said he sold his crypto investments 😂 😂 how many people have that sort of capitol at hand? 😢 😢 oh well, fun video.

Great video, thank you for sharing your journey and the details.

Hi! Do you still live in Japan?

Definitely Sony Bank!

I had hopes of starting a company in Japan and raising children there but gosh this is so involved.. 5 million is also basically my nest egg and not something I wish to tuck away in a company :( Thanks for making this video and at least helping me realise what my chances are and that I at least tried looking into it, heh :) good luck on your entrepreneur journey!

Very nice video, thanks for the information

is there a way to DM you? social media?

I have a business manager visa also for 4 months. Do you want to connect?

thank you for sharing❤️

thank you for making this video!

Are there japanese universities who don't require math tests?

Does gpa matter? My gpa is very bad

Great video my dude. Extremely informational and well done. I hope your business is doing well.

Awesome video brother I really love it or you still in Japan now or have any connections in Japan?

Hi your story is very inspiring! may I ask update after a year of doing business? is there a minimum profit that a company needs to reach per year?

after seeing this video about starting a buisness in japan, i have decided, not to start a buisness in japan. I think it is easier to start a buisness in The U.S and then open up a branch office in Japan and get an intra company transferee visa. Or simply save up 300k and coast indefenitely getting renewals for designated activities long stay. with the occasional going back home to make some money.

Great video man. I'm also planning to start a business in Japan, but trying to get the startup status from Shibuya ward first (since I'm outside Japan). If you don't mind me asking, when you renewed for the 2nd year, were you sales very strong, or do they mostly just care about your balance sheet (5M capital) balance at application time?

Helpful 🙏

Hold on. Can only one person get a business manager visa for one company?

I've been to Japan from 2014 to 2020. No salary increase during my time over there.

What was your Japanese level when you applied? I am currently a language student in Tokyo but I am leaving my language school to go back home(its a pretty shit school is the reason). Thinking of spending a year going through with the process of this but it seems difficult haha! My chances seem pretty low, checked Kobe University acceptance for foreigners since I am pretty interested in this uni and they accepted 1/17 foreigners for the Engineering school(2021), and 0/2 for business(2021)!!! Than again, maybe most of the applicants were just not readily prepared. I suppose my plan right now is to find 1 or 2 colleges that have similar EJU reqs, study the year for that and apply. What were the main Universities you considered when choosing Yokohama uni? Edit: Regarding the entrance rate info I showed above ^^. I pulled that data from the English pages of the website but after navigating to the Japanese acceptance info page I have found that the overall acceptance rate it MUCH higher than that under the section labeled 特別選抜 which I assume includes foreigners. Not sure which page to trust now haha xD.

This video is a gem! Not many people have shared their actual experience in such detail, especially within the last couple of years. I'd love to see a video about the renewal process, as I'm interested in doing something like this as well.

This video is a life saver

Ha, nah the hardest part is understanding the many languages of japan while writing them all.

What is the basic admission requirements though for most universities? I'm currently 18 and live in the UK, so I finished high school at 16 then did one year of college and i'm not sure if now is the time to apply or do i need to attend furthur education in the UK

My 2 cents as a JP Postbank user. I've had JP Post bank for close to 6 years now and when I first started in Japan, they were definitely the go-to bank for foreigners. No phone number needed to set-up, so it was great if you just got here. However, over time their fees have gotten higher and higher and not being able to withdraw after 5pm became very grating on my nerves after the first year. That means no using an ATM Mon- Fri if you have a job. No withdrawals after business hours means no ATM use on Sunday either because a lot of them are closed, and fees for using it on Saturday. There are a lot of JP ATMs but they count the ATMs in convenience stores in that list and those carry a 2-300 yen fee these days. I don't know about the other banks, but JP Post requires foreigners to fill out paperwork every year stating you aren't a money launderer, or the account gets frozen and you cannot withdraw money from the account until it's done. Sometimes this can take 2-3 weeks to process so hopefully you have some money out or it hurts.

I am impressed with your visa story, since I'm also interested in getting one. But with my zero Japanese, I'd better get the expert to do all the job for me. Wish you all the best.

Man it seems it’s been while u uploaded a video

For exam is it only need japan langue test?

Maybe Japan needs some free banking whatnot and a decent monetary constitution.

One of my favorite videos on youtube.

There's something I didn't really understand. The EJU and university-specific entrance exams are required to apply to all universities in Japan? Is the SAT not enough?

Great video! What a blessing to have found you channel, mate. It's very much aligned with what I'm interested in and what I'm currently working with. Keep up the great work!

In America one of the problems with going cashless is it would hurt the poor. Not everybody has a bank account and not everybody has a smart phone. Cashless stores basically discriminate against the poor in the USA. In a 100% cashless society the cons outweigh the pros.

Those are atms…….NOT BANKS! 😂😂😂

So for EJU exam we have to fly to Japan?

Cool! Keep up the good work.

Amazing video! I learned a lot, and you were a great teacher.

China has been borrowing Japanese Yen at 0% and exchanged to USD for investment abroad for Belt and road initiative which caused lost of interest income in hundreds of billions for the US federal reserve. Japan has currency swap deal with the US and their debt ratio is at 260% of their GDP thus Japanese federal bank kept their 10 years bonds at minus 0.1 to 0% or else they can't pay their debt. Washington must stop currency swap deal with Japan to stop China and Japan must compensate Washington in hundreds of billions of interests income lost.

I am particularly impressed for the soho solution, having a room in your house as the office. But I am wondering if this is required by the VISA itself or by the Godo Kaisha
