# Visa and Immigration Resources for Japan — Overview

The main source for all visa questions is the Immigration Services Agency's website (moj.go.jp/isa). This group brings together its pages on Business Manager (BM) visa requirements and the 2025-2026 reform raising the minimum capital, the Highly Skilled Professional (HSP) points system and other skilled-worker visas, general residence-status procedures and permanent-residency guidelines, MOFA/embassy information and unofficial tracking tools, the public-comment portal used during the BM visa reform process, and how the reform has been covered in the media and by legal commentators. Each detail record below groups several related official pages, PDFs and articles.
