In principle, working visas cannot be obtained before establishing the base since working visas are issued for applicants (foreign nationals) on the premise that a Japan entity for which they work is secured. However, if applying for a "4-month business manager visa" or if using the "System for Encouraging Foreign Entrepreneurs Acceptance Promotion Project" or “Program to increase foreign entrepreneurs” in Special International Strategic Zones, it is possible to obtain a visa before the establishment of the base.
