Hey everyone,
My wife and I have recently been discussing the possibility of a move. We live in the US and are seriously concerned about where things are and may be heading.
Im looking at a 3 year plan to move there. I have a BA, 11 years experience in my field (digital marketing for businesses) and I am currently learning Japanese (1 hour a day). I own a digital marketing agency that does well with clients in 6 states. My wife is an architect but currently expecting our first baby and will not be working after that.
What options do we have to make the move there? I initially looked into a Business Manager Visa, maybe open a business for local businesses to market to foreign tourists (we noticed almost no local restaurants had any English marketing, the ones that did were killing it). This would be, I guess, something that a Japanese person couldn’t do as well with the culture difference, which could help me, I suppose?
I’m open to any suggestions and advice to paths that would create this opportunity. Thanks!
Edit: Ideally, I am looking for a path that will allow me to work for myself (Business Visa Manager) or not have to work at all (maybe an investment visa?) our income from our US based company would give us a comfortable life there so that’s not a major concern, but I do look forward to being integrated and a useful member to the Japanese community. All suggestions welcome!
