Angesichts des harten Vorgehens der Regierung gegen die Meinungsfreiheit fliehen immer mehr wohlhabende Chinesen aus dem Land nach Japan. Die Einreise nach Japan ist immer noch viel einfacher und billiger als in die USA oder Singapur, und die neue Kapitalanforderung von 30 Millionen Yen für Geschäftsvisa schreckt die wirklich Reichen nicht ab

I mean, *theoretically speaking*, we’re not actually trying to dissuade wealthy Chinese people from coming…
And if the new rules demand that the company actually show profits and hire a full time employee…
What’s going wrong here? Or is this more neutral than it sounds?
(The new threshold is unreasonable, but if a business passes, it passes. You want to keep out mainlanders, figure out a way that doesn’t expel well established members of hundreds of communities around Japan.)
Of course given current plunging exchange rate against the USD, who doesn’t want to come to Japan
All according to keikaku as far as I can see.
USA EB5 programs are full of scamming projects (about 1/3). Singapore wants 200M SGD (~$150M) to establish a family office, very few people have that amount of liquidity and can move it overseas. Europe has language issues. (UK and Ireland cancelled RBI programs after Ukraine war broke out.) So the focus naturally shifts to Japan. The 30 million yen (~$185k) requirement is very affordable compared with other options.
Might be bc of the official who’s getting f executed for bribery. Might be a lot of self filtration going on
The changes to the BMV have done nothing but reduced genuine entrepreneurship in Japan. I run a discord for business manager visa holders and applicants, and it’s bleak.
So many are just looking to jump to another country because they aren’t willing/able to meet the new requirements.
