Re: Help starting a business in japan

Re: Help starting a business in japan

OK honestly, if you're being knocked back by Gaba then you're doing something wrong. Gaba are one of the few 'big' schools who openly state they are happy to employ British WHV holders. That is...

Re: Help starting a business in japan

Re: Help starting a business in japan

Re: Help starting a business in japan

Re: Help starting a business in japan

To my knowledge only a few statuses of residence will allow a foreigner to setup a business in Japan. There's the investor visa obviously plus PR, SPR (zainichi), and family/spouse of a Japanese...
