🇯🇵 JAPAN TIGHTENS BUSINESS VISAS — FOREIGN COMPANY FORMATIONS DROP 40%

Japan’s stricter Business Manager visa rules appear to be having an immediate impact.

According to Teikoku Databank, foreign-founded company registrations fell from approximately 1,400 per month to around 800 per month after the new rules took effect in October 2025.

📉 That’s a drop of roughly 40%.

The new requirements include:

• Higher capital thresholds
• Stricter employment requirements
• Increased scrutiny of business operations

The objective is to eliminate “paper companies” created solely to obtain residency. However, many experts believe the changes may also discourage genuine entrepreneurs from launching businesses in Japan.

🌏 Looking for alternatives?

Many international founders continue to choose China and Hong Kong as their gateway to Asia.

🇨🇳 China
✅ Company can sponsor work & residence permits
✅ Local RMB & foreign currency bank accounts
✅ Import & export rights
✅ Access to the world’s 2nd largest economy

🇭🇰 Hong Kong
✅ Fast incorporation
✅ No VAT
✅ Territorial taxation
✅ International banking ecosystem

Compared to Japan and Singapore, China’s work permit and residence permit pathways for company executives remain significantly more accessible for genuine business owners.

This is where you handle company registration and visa-related procedures in Yiwu City.

If you are planning to start a company in Yiwu, this government service center is one of the key places where you can:

✅ Apply for your business license
✅ Handle work permit and residence permit procedures
✅ Verify official information about company registration, visas, and compliance requirements

But there is one important point:

You need to speak Mandarin Chinese when dealing with government offices in China. If you cannot communicate clearly, you may not be able to complete much by yourself.

That’s why many foreign entrepreneurs prefer to work with a professional firm that understands the process, the paperwork, and the local requirements.

At JR & Firm, we help foreign entrepreneurs register companies, obtain work and residence permits, open bank accounts, and complete the post-registration steps in China.

Focus on your business.
Let professionals handle the process.

Do you need a physical office in China to register a company?
Not always.

There are 2 common scenarios:

1) You want to register the company and run it remotely from outside China
In this case, in many cities, a virtual registered address is usually enough for company registration.

2) You want to relocate to China as the company director or another executive and actually run the business from inside China
In this case, a physical office is usually mandatory, especially for work permit and residence permit purposes.

So the real answer is simple:
Remote setup = virtual address may work
Relocation + visa = physical office required

This is exactly why there is no one-size-fits-all answer in China. Your setup depends on how you plan to use the company.

If you want to save time, avoid mistakes, and structure it properly from the start, speak to professionals.

Mainland China company registration is usually FREE — if you do it yourself.

In most Chinese cities, there is no separate government fee just to get the business license.

So yes, if you know the process, speak the language, understand the paperwork, and want to treat it as a DIY project — go ahead and do it yourself.

But when you hire a professional firm like JR & Firm, you are not paying for the “government fee.”

You are paying for expertise, time, document preparation, communication with authorities, registered address coordination, bank account assistance, tax registration, customs setup, and all the post-license steps.

Because the business license is only Step 0.

A company is not truly active just because the registrar issued a license.

So when someone comments, “It’s free, why are you charging people?” — the answer is simple:

We are a professional service firm, not a charity.

You can grow your own onions, cucumbers, and tomatoes too. But most busy entrepreneurs buy the salad ingredients and focus on their actual work.

Focus on your business.
Let professionals handle the process.

And Hong Kong is different: HK company registration is not free. There are government fees, and you need a Hong Kong resident company secretary.
