Japan Work Visas & Permits.

Expanding business operations to Japan will help you establish new relationships and enter a previously untapped market. However, an expansion also means you need to hire a full team or transfer some of your parent company’s employees to Japan. You also need to learn how to get a work visa for every single employee that’s not from Japan.

Japan Contractors.

When you wish to grow your company, you may hire globally to support your goals. Independent contractor relationships can support various project needs, but you must understand the laws in order to properly hire this type of worker.
