Are you talking about the normal startup visa here that's valid for 1 year? I wasn't aware that it's this annoying to get. From my understanding, you have to hand in the papers (with a basic business plan), incorporate your company and after a year, proof that you indeed make money.
For all other visas you just need a sponsor (company) / proof that you can make money as a freelancer and, well, a university degree.
Japan might even be one of the only countries that effectively lets you skip the university degree (and 10 years of work experience) requirement with the right certificate that should be no problem to get if you know your computer science basics
- agibsonccc 10y agoI did an intra company transfer with an already existing subsidiary. In our case we are venture funded with a seed round in the millions. The devil here is in the details. We also have a deal with jetro: http://jetro.go.jp/usa/topics/companies-chosen-global-innovation-centers-subsidy-announced.html http://jetro.go.jp/usa/topics/companies-chosen-global-innova... as well as a ton of Japanese PR which helped. Half of our difficulty was actually finding a good law firm that understood how software companies work.
