Foreign income not brought into Japan is untaxed for your first 5 years

Non-permanent residents (first 5 years) generally aren't taxed on foreign income they don't remit to Japan. Note: the Business Manager visa now needs ¥30M capital.

Check first: Non-Japanese only; get tax advice, rules on what counts as a remittance are strict
