Revisions have been made to the basic requirements for the status of residence “Business Manager”, which came into effect on October 16th, 2025. In addition, those already residing in Japan with the Business Manager residence status will have a three-year grace period after the law takes effect, and will generally have to meet all the revised requirements for landing permission, etc., when they make their first application for renewal of stay after this period ends.
For details about the revisions, please check the Immigration Services Agency's website.
