Corporate Setup & Residency

Corporate Setup & Residency

Building a base in Japan, and enabling family members to live here.

Establishing a Japanese company is often the shared foundation for holding assets, running a business and obtaining residency in Japan. Entity type, capital, directors and business activities all shape the tax and residency arrangements that follow.

ITADAKI JAPAN works with judicial scriveners, tax accountants, administrative scriveners and other specialists to treat incorporation and residency as one whole.

Residency

The status of residence family members need depends on purpose and circumstances. Below are common directions. Applications are handled by partner administrative scriveners and other specialists; outcomes depend on individual examination and cannot be guaranteed.

  • Business Manager

    A status of residence premised on managing a business in Japan. Closely tied to incorporation, business plan and office requirements.

  • Other residency matters

    Accompanying family, long-term stay, renewals and changes, organised case by case with specialists.

If Japan is on your mind, start with a conversation.

Whether the idea is still forming or the plan is already concrete, a private consultation is the right place to begin.
