Hi all,

I've searched in this forum but couldn't find an adequate answer to my question so I'm posting it now.

I am aware that if you have a Specialist in Humanities visa and want to do some other sort of work (i.e. bar work, factory work, etc) that you have to get your visa changed.

What if one has the SIH visa and wants to start a business in Japan?

For example, an import/export business. Would I have to quit teaching and get my visa changed, or could I still teach and start a business on the side?

If I had to change my visa status in order to start an import/export business, what kind of visa would I have to get and how would I go about doing that?

Many thanks

best wishes
