Summary
The number of foreign business manager visa holders leaving Japan without reentry permits nearly quadrupled to 953 in the first half of 2026, compared with 246 a year earlier. The increase followed stricter visa requirements introduced in October 2025, raising the minimum capital requirement from 5 million to 30 million yen and requiring at least one full-time employee. The measures aim to prevent misuse of the visa system through companies with no genuine business operations, reflecting Japan’s broader tightening of immigration regulations.
