Summary
Japan's Immigration Services Agency plans to tighten the requirements for the business management visa, raising the minimum capital from 5 million yen to 30 million yen to prevent misuse of the visa system for immigration purposes.

The proposal was approved by the ruling Liberal Democratic Party's special committee and is expected to be finalized by the end of the year after public feedback. Currently, individuals can qualify with a business office and either 5 million yen in capital or two full-time employees. Authorities found cases where applicants had no real business operations, prompting the stricter rules.
