日本经营·管理签证：2025-10-16 起的新规

自 2025-10-16 起，经营·管理资格需要 30,000,000 日元资本金和一名全职员工。现有持有者在 2028-10-16 前续签享有过渡期。

审阅于 2026-10-26

2025-10-16 改了什么？

收紧上陆标准的省令于 2025-10-16 生效。经营·管理（経営・管理）所需的资本金或出资总额由 5,000,000 日元提高到 30,000,000 日元。

旧标准下，雇用 2 人以上可以代替资本金要件。新标准在资本金要件之外，还强制要求至少 1 名全职员工。

2025-10-15 以前受理且仍在审理中的经营·管理申请，继续按旧标准审查。

30,000,000 日元怎么计算？

株式会社按实缴资本金计算；合名、合资、合同会社按出资总额计算。个体经营者按为经营实际投入的总额计算，因此不需要注册资本。

法人不能把员工工资或办公室运营费加进来凑数。资本准备金、资本盈余和留存收益也不计入。经营多家公司时资本金不能相加，至少要有 1 家公司单独达到 30,000,000 日元以上。

即使申请人是以管理者而非经营者身份受聘，也适用资本金要件。

谁能算作全职员工？

至少需要 1 名全职员工。只有日本人、特别永住者，以及持永住者、日本人的配偶等、永住者的配偶等、定住者资格的人才算。持附表一（Appended Table I）所列资格的人不算。

ISA 给出的不合格例子是：公司只雇用持附表一资格的人，即使其中 1 人能证明日语能力也不行。合格例子是：1 名没有日语证明的附表二人员，加上 1 名有日语证明的附表一人员。

是否全职，部分依据每周工作 5 天以上、每年 217 天以上、每周 30 小时以上来判断。借调、派遣或外包的人员，不能视为其工作场所的全职员工。

日语能力、经历和事业计划

申请人或某名全职员工的日语能力须达到 B2 以上。对既不是日本人也不是特别永住者的人，认可的证明包括 JLPT N2 以上、BJT 400 分以上、作为中长期在留者在日本居住 20 年以上，或从日本的大学等高等教育机构毕业。

申请人还须具有经营管理或事业相关领域的博士、硕士或专业学位，或具备 3 年以上经营管理经验。以特定活动（创业准备）资格在日本的时间计入这 3 年。

事业计划须由具备经营专业知识的人确认。截至 2025-10-16，这类人是中小企业诊断士、注册会计师和税理士。只认可日本的资格，申请人自己公司的高管或员工不能担任评估人。

办公室、续签审查和办理时间

原则上不允许把申请人自己的住宅用作经营场所。没有统一的面积数字，办公室须与业务规模相符且足够使用。按月短期租用的空间不满足办公室要件。

续签时，ISA 会审查劳动、最低工资和保险方面的规定、必要的许可证，以及雇佣、工伤、健康、年金保险和国税、地方税的缴纳情况。无正当理由长期滞留国外会被拒绝续签。

在留期间有 5 年、3 年、1 年、6 个月、4 个月、3 个月几种。在留资格认定证明书申请不收费。标准办理期间：认定证明书 1 至 3 个月，变更在留资格 1 至 2 个月，延长在留期间 2 周至 1 个月。

现有持有者：到 2028-10-16 的过渡期

已持有经营·管理资格的人，在 3 年过渡期结束的 2028-10-16 之前，不会仅因未达到新标准而被拒绝续签。这段时间，ISA 根据经营状况以及达到修订标准的前景来判断。

过渡期结束后，财务状况良好、依法纳税、并预计在下次续签前达到标准的公司，会被综合判断，而不是直接拒绝。ISA 没有说明该判断的数值标准，资本金不足 30,000,000 日元本身也不是一律拒绝的理由。

永住是另一回事：施行日之后，如果达不到修订后的标准，就不能从经营·管理，或基于经营管理持有的高度专门职 1(c) 或 2 申请获得永住。
