जापानको व्यवसाय व्यवस्थापक भिसा: 2025-10-16 देखिका नियम

2025-10-16 मा के बदलियो?

अवतरण मापदण्ड कडा बनाउने मन्त्रालयीय आदेश 2025-10-16 मा लागू भयो। व्यवसाय व्यवस्थापक (経営・管理) का लागि चाहिने पुँजी वा कुल योगदान 5,000,000 येनबाट बढेर 30,000,000 येन भयो।

पुरानो मापदण्डमा 2 वा बढी व्यक्तिलाई रोजगारी दिँदा पुँजीको सर्तको सट्टा मान्न सकिन्थ्यो। नयाँ मापदण्डले पुँजीको नियमको साथै कम्तीमा 1 पूर्णकालीन कर्मचारी अनिवार्य गर्छ।

2025-10-15 सम्म प्राप्त र अझै जाँचमा रहेका व्यवसाय व्यवस्थापक आवेदन पुरानै मापदण्डले जाँचिन्छन्।

30,000,000 येन कसरी गणना हुन्छ?

कावुशिकि कैशा (株式会社) का लागि चुक्ता पुँजी; गोमेई, गोशी वा गोदो कैशाका लागि कुल योगदान गनिन्छ। एकल व्यवसायीका लागि व्यवसाय चलाउन वास्तवमै लगानी गरेको कुल रकम गनिन्छ, त्यसैले दर्ता पुँजी चाहिँदैन।

कम्पनीले कर्मचारीको तलब वा कार्यालय सञ्चालन खर्च जोडेर रकम पुर्याउन पाउँदैन। पुँजी सञ्चिति, पुँजी बचत र रोकिएको नाफा गनिँदैन। आवेदकले धेरै कम्पनी चलाए पनि पुँजी जोडिँदैन: कम्तीमा 1 कम्पनी एक्लैमा 30,000,000 येन वा बढी हुनुपर्छ।

आवेदक मालिक-सञ्चालक नभई व्यवस्थापकका रूपमा काम गर्दा पनि पुँजीको सर्त लागू हुन्छ।

पूर्णकालीन कर्मचारी को गनिन्छ?

कम्तीमा 1 पूर्णकालीन कर्मचारी चाहिन्छ। जापानी नागरिक, विशेष स्थायी बासिन्दा र स्थायी बासिन्दा, जापानी नागरिकको जीवनसाथी वा बच्चा, स्थायी बासिन्दाको जीवनसाथी वा बच्चा वा दीर्घकालीन बासिन्दा हैसियत भएकाले मात्र गनिन्छन्। संलग्न तालिका I (Appended Table I) का हैसियत भएकाले गनिँदैनन्।

ISA को असफल उदाहरण भनेको तालिका I का हैसियत भएकालाई मात्र रोजगारी दिने कम्पनी हो, तिनमध्ये 1 जनाले जापानी भाषा प्रमाणित गरे पनि। सफल उदाहरण भनेको जापानी प्रमाणबिनाको तालिका II को 1 कर्मचारी र प्रमाण भएको तालिका I को 1 कर्मचारी हो।

पूर्णकालीन हो कि होइन भन्ने केही हदसम्म हप्तामा कम्तीमा 5 दिन, वर्षमा कम्तीमा 217 दिन र हप्तामा कम्तीमा 30 घण्टा काम गरेको आधारमा हेरिन्छ। खटाइएका, डिस्प्याच गरिएका वा ठेक्कामा काम गर्नेलाई काम गर्ने स्थानको पूर्णकालीन कर्मचारी मानिँदैन।

जापानी भाषा, अनुभव र व्यवसाय योजना

आवेदक वा एक पूर्णकालीन कर्मचारीको जापानी भाषा B2 वा माथि हुनुपर्छ। जापानी नागरिक वा विशेष स्थायी बासिन्दा नभएका व्यक्तिका लागि मान्य प्रमाणमा JLPT N2 वा माथि, BJT 400 अंक वा बढी, मध्यम-दीर्घकालीन बासिन्दाका रूपमा जापानमा 20 वर्ष वा बढी बसाइ, वा जापानका विश्वविद्यालय वा अन्य उच्च शिक्षा संस्थाबाट स्नातक पर्छन्।

आवेदकसँग व्यवस्थापन वा व्यवसायको क्षेत्रमा डक्टरेट, मास्टर्स वा पेसागत उपाधि, वा कम्तीमा 3 वर्षको व्यवसाय सञ्चालन अनुभव चाहिन्छ। विशेष गतिविधि (स्टार्टअप तयारी) हैसियतमा जापानमा बसेको समय ती 3 वर्षमा गनिन्छ।

व्यवसाय योजना व्यवस्थापनको विशेषज्ञ ज्ञान भएको व्यक्तिले पुष्टि गर्नुपर्छ। 2025-10-16 सम्म तिनमा साना तथा मझौला उद्यम व्यवस्थापन परामर्शदाता, प्रमाणित सार्वजनिक लेखापाल र प्रमाणित कर लेखापाल पर्छन्। जापानी योग्यता मात्र मान्य हुन्छ, र आवेदकको आफ्नै कम्पनीका अधिकारी वा कर्मचारी मूल्याङ्कनकर्ता हुन सक्दैनन्।

कार्यालय, नवीकरणको जाँच र प्रक्रिया समय

आवेदकको आफ्नै घरलाई व्यवसायिक कार्यालय बनाउन सिद्धान्ततः अनुमति छैन। क्षेत्रफलको एउटै तोकिएको आँकडा छैन; कार्यालय व्यवसायको आकारका लागि आवश्यक र पर्याप्त हुनुपर्छ। महिनैपिच्छे छोटो अवधिका लागि भाडामा लिइएको ठाउँले कार्यालयको सर्त पूरा गर्दैन।

नवीकरणमा ISA ले श्रम, न्यूनतम ज्याला र बिमा नियम, आवश्यक इजाजत, रोजगार, दुर्घटना, स्वास्थ्य र पेन्सन बिमा तथा राष्ट्रिय र स्थानीय करको भुक्तानी जाँच्छ। उचित कारणबिना लामो समय विदेशमा बस्दा नवीकरण अस्वीकार हुन्छ।

बसाइ अवधि 5 वर्ष, 3 वर्ष, 1 वर्ष, 6 महिना, 4 महिना वा 3 महिना हुन्छ। योग्यता प्रमाणपत्रको आवेदनमा शुल्क लाग्दैन। मानक प्रक्रिया अवधि योग्यता प्रमाणपत्रका लागि 1 देखि 3 महिना, हैसियत परिवर्तनका लागि 1 देखि 2 महिना र अवधि थपका लागि 2 हप्तादेखि 1 महिना हो।

हालका धारक: 2028-10-16 सम्मको सहुलियत अवधि

पहिले नै व्यवसाय व्यवस्थापक हैसियत भएकाहरूको नवीकरण 3 वर्षे सहुलियत अवधि 2028-10-16 मा सकिनुअघि नयाँ मापदण्ड पूरा नगरेको कारणले मात्र अस्वीकार हुँदैन। यस अवधिमा ISA ले व्यवसायको अवस्था र संशोधित मापदण्ड पूरा गर्ने सम्भावना हेरेर निर्णय गर्छ।

सहुलियत अवधिपछि आर्थिक अवस्था राम्रो भएको, कर तिरिरहेको र अर्को नवीकरणसम्म मापदण्ड पूरा गर्ने अपेक्षा गरिएको कम्पनीलाई सिधै अस्वीकार नगरी समग्र रूपमा जाँचिन्छ। ISA ले त्यस निर्णयका लागि अङ्कमा आधारित मापदण्ड बताएको छैन, र 30,000,000 येनभन्दा कम पुँजी आफैंमा सबैका लागि एकैखाले अस्वीकारको कारण होइन।

स्थायी बसोबास छुट्टै कुरा हो: लागू मितिपछि कसैले संशोधित मापदण्ड पूरा गरेन भने व्यवसाय व्यवस्थापक वा व्यवसाय सञ्चालनका आधारमा रहेको उच्च दक्ष पेशेवर 1(c) वा 2 बाट स्थायी बसोबास दिइँदैन।
