   **Digital Marketing Business Visa**

   Hi everyone!

   I recently came back from my honeymoon in Japan (3 weeks) and fell in love with it. I’ve talked to my wife and we’ve agreed to try to move there for 1-2 years for the experience.

   I’ve been looking at visas to do this and it seems that the easiest way would be the Business Manager Visa.

   I currently run a pretty successful social media content creation agency in the US which is structured in a way that I don’t have to physically be there for the business to operate (guess that makes me a digital nomad? I hate that term 🤷‍♂️).

   My idea is to write a business plan with 3 revenue avenues:

   1) I want to create content for social media and YouTube about life in Japan, local businesses and activities and help boost english-speaking tourism in Japan. Revenue would come from sponsorships and ad revenue.

   2) I want to create bespoke content for companies outside of Japan that want bespoke footage. I will also use this to charge my US company for consulting to generate revenue for the business immediately and show it as an existing contract for business for my application. This will be more than enough to pay my bills in Japan.

   3) I want to collaborate with local businesses and cultural activities to create content for them for a fee for social media. This will help sell that I am trying to grow within the Japanese market.

   I think this will offer 3 strong reasons to present and approve my visa: helps with tourism, have an existing contract for work that can only happen in Japan and a plan to grow within the Japanese market.

   I’d like to get opinions from those of you that have tried to get this visa (successfully or not) to know if this is a good idea for a business plan or not. And since this requires traveling and no employees, do I still need an office?

   Thank you and sorry for the very long post!

2. First there is no digital nomad visa and Business Manager is to manage a Japanese business. None of your business plans help Japanese workers.

   1. You are way too late to become another J-Vlogger in a sea of channels waning past prime. English speaking tourism doesn’t need your help.

   2. Define ‘bespoke footage’

   3. How is your Japanese language to talk creatively with these local clients.
