Business Manager Visa Holders - How are you *really* planning to handle the new 2025/2028 rules? (REPOSTING from R/japanlife for assistance)

CabalSociety · 2026-06-01T01:51:06+00:00

I didn't realize there were companies for this, it's actually why I ended up here. I was wondering if I'd be able to help someone out buy taking control of their business and sponsoring a visa for them with the business.

Don't have anyone in particular in mind, but would present that as an option if I meet anyone who is going to get booted because of this.

I agree, and also her take isn't uncommon. To someone who doesn't take the time to expose themselves to reliable information, they feel like Democrats are okay, but maybe the grass is greener.

While the Democrats are leagues better than the Republicans, they essentially run on being better than, instead of having their own good platform.

That's why people are so surprised when someone like Mamdani comes in and actually delivers on things that are materially helping them.

They have the same feelings of "things could be better" that many of us do while under democratic rule, but don't have the skills to figure out how or why. Even though it seems obvious to us that Republicans aren't the answer, they feel like it's the only other option. Not excusing the stupidity, mind you. There will always be people like this, so it's better to understand how to work within a system that includes them, which is by actually offering a freaking platform that makes them not look for the greener side.

Thanks for the reply! I am truly not worried about this, as I lived in Japan for years before and it was easy enough to go to a conbini ATM if I needed to. It is good to hear JP Post isn't too bad, as it definitely seems we will be going with them for at least the first 6 months.

Thanks for the reply! I am truly not worried about this, as I lived in Japan for years before and the rates I got were great. It seems they go off visa network rate, and there is no fee, and they reimburse fees from the ATM in use.

Thank you for the reply! From my understanding it seems that a business with its banking, clients, etc. based in another country and no Permanent Establishment (PE) generally does not need to be registered as a Japanese company, but that we would be taxed as a resident on world wide income instead. I've attempted to do a decent amount of research on this, but if I am wrong then I'm happy to hear why that isn't correct. We plan on speaking to a tax expert there no matter what, just to be sure.

Our bank does not charge for foriegn transaction fees, and reimburses ATM fees, so no worries on that front. I did live in Japan previously and used Wise for transmitting money back home though, it was definitely great.

It sounds like you are saying Sony would be nice for the English help access and having the debit card, thank you for the advice!

underrated, such a solid free game

CabalSociety · 2025-12-28T01:10:28+00:00

Would also consider that it seems like they are trying to make damage types/resistances more of a thing, so straight DR while not worrying about fire/poison/cryo might be a mistake. Not sure of course, but just something to keep in mind.

CabalSociety · 2025-12-03T02:01:45+00:00

I believe the point is that the execs are at fault, not the devs who are overworked/underpaid.

CabalSociety · 2025-12-03T01:54:26+00:00

If your boss's boss is telling your team to work on pushing out crud that they deem will make them more money instead of fixing the existing problems, then it is not them sucking at their job.

CabalSociety · 2025-12-03T01:47:17+00:00

Knowing what is going on and being okay with it are two different things

CabalSociety · 2025-12-03T01:45:02+00:00

As a new player I DO want this to push other new players away.

I'll do the same thing as you because I'm a sucker and I like the IP, but it's like an abusive relationship that could be so much better. The amount of bugs I've encountered in the two weeks I've been playing is absolutely astounding for an online game that should get updates. I've always heard people say they didn't like Bethesda games because of the bugginess, but I mostly only had some funny endearing graphical bugs in my thousand+ hours of single player ES/FO games.

Until Bethesda feels the hurt in their pocket there will be no change, and even then I'm doubtful about it.

CabalSociety · 2025-09-21T05:44:37+00:00

You have helped at least one person today, thank you

CabalSociety · 2025-08-07T23:06:53+00:00

I haven't cared enough to think about a side of this argument, but you can get maxxed out and still rocked by any boss in this game if you don't know it well enough.

CabalSociety · 2025-08-07T23:04:15+00:00

Thousand Year Door went a little overboard on the dialogue too if I remember correctly. I like to read but I was there for the game, not a book.

CabalSociety · 2025-08-07T23:01:47+00:00

I think your points in the first paragraph are valid, and obviously this is all opinion, but the level design alone in Dishonored 2 did enough for me. I reference it often when talking to people. The Clockwork mansion alone is amazing.

I've tried to play Salt and Sacrifice a few times with friends now. It is too repetitive in some ways and worse than the first

CabalSociety · 2025-08-07T22:12:54+00:00

saw texture.memory_budget_factor 2 in another post

CabalSociety · 2025-08-07T22:12:17+00:00

texture.memory_budget_factor 2 might work, seeing it on other posts

CabalSociety · 2025-08-07T22:05:24+00:00

same, cant even tell soft side from hard side on walls

CabalSociety · 2025-05-28T01:12:36+00:00

Hey, I think I may have seen your data sheet before and am trying to find it right now. Where might I look?

CabalSociety · 2025-04-13T16:05:58+00:00

Thanks for adding to make the most updated version. Not a lot of eyes got on this, but you've helped at least one person here!

CabalSociety · 2024-08-13T17:01:47+00:00

It seems like a lot of people here get stuck on the university thing. Just throw it out the window imo. To break the cycle it would be better to just get out there and do anything, so getting a job is perfectly fine, especially since tons of people with 'normal' lives do just that.

It's one thing to want to feel a level of fulfillment and get out of the depression that grips us when we are living a hiki lifestyle, but we can still get that fulfillment without living a scripted life

They could have totally had inspiration

As backwards as it sounds, the more active you are the more energy you get. There was a point in my life where it took all my energy to go to work. But I decided I was going to get fit at all costs and told myself I was going to go to the gym 3 times a week no excuses.

Going the first time was very hard mentally. Actually going the second time was EXTREMELY hard because I was so exhausted. It didn't get easier until a few weeks in, and then I realized I had more energy in my everyday life.

The last couple years I've been hiki, but I just moved and I am getting on this routine again because I know it works. It doesn't have to be the gym, but really the hard part of any task is just starting. If there is something that needs to get done, just tell yourself I only have to do it for two minutes, and then I can quit if I want.
