I am running a one-man consulting company in my local area. I am getting business. But my local market is kinda small for what I am doing.
Since I know some Japanese (passed N1 last July), I am thinking maybe I can explore if it is possible to expand my business there.
Currently, my consulting jobs are mostly several months long. But it seems if I do the same in Japan then I couldn't find any visa that allows short term contract. (Am I wrong?)
After reading this site and the MoFA site, I think the easiest probably is to spend 10M yen to start a company there and hire two Japanese. I have the money to do this but I think maybe that's too much commitment up front. So it would be great if there
I heard that it is possible to get a real job there first from one sponsor to obatin a working visa. Then after one year, I can quit and sponsor myself to do consulting contracts. Is that true?
Is there a third way?
Thank you in advance for your advice.
