You now need <strong>30 million yen or more<\/strong> in capital, which is six times the previous amount. What constitutes \"capital investment\" varies depending on your business structure.<\/p>\n\n    <ul>\n        <li><strong>For Corporations:<\/strong><br>\n            This refers to the \"paid-in capital amount\" for stock companies or the \"total investment amount\" for limited liability companies.<\/li>\n        \n        <li><strong>For Individual Businesses:<\/strong><br>\n            This refers to the total amount of funds invested in the business.

However, this requirement can be met by <strong>either<\/strong> the applicant themselves <strong>or<\/strong> a full-time employee hired by the company. The required level is B2 level according to international standards (equivalent to JLPT N2).<\/p>\n\n    <p>Specifically, this can be demonstrated by meeting any of the following criteria:<\/p>\n\n    <ul>\n        <li>Passing the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) at <strong>N2 level or higher<\/strong><\/li>\n        <li>Achieving <strong>400 points or higher<\/strong> on the Business Japanese Proficiency Test (BJT)<\/li>\n        <li>Graduating from a Japanese university or graduate school<\/li>\n        <li>Completing Japanese compulsory education and graduating from high school<\/li>\n        <li>Having resided in Japan for 20 years or more as a medium to long-term resident<\/li>\n    <\/ul>\n\n    <div class=\"highlight\">\n        <h4>Important Additional Information<\/h4>\n        <p>The \"full-time employees\" who can fulfill this Japanese language proficiency requirement differ from those in section 2.3's hiring obligation. <strong>Foreign nationals working under work visas such as \"Engineer\/Specialist in Humanities\/International Services\" are also included in this requirement.<\/strong><\/p>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"25_Business_Plan_Requires_Expert_Verification\"><\/span>2.5 Business Plan Requires Expert Verification<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n    \n    <p>You must prove that your submitted business plan is not just a pipe dream.
