Covered questions:
Can you tell us about your background and how you first started living and working in Japan? Fun story we used to live together right?
Can you first tell us about how you got involved with this company and living in Japan as well as what they do?
So did tryp.com provide you with your first visa from overseas or how did you get the first visa?
Alright, so after your first visa (which is called the “strart-up” visa) for designated activities (variation 44) expired you applied for a so-called “business management” visa right? Can you explain in your own words for a dummy like me the process for the both visas and the differences?
What were the pain points of the visa application?
And how long did the whole process take? And do you get a residency card at the end?
Who decides at the end of the process if you are eligible or not and for how long is the visa?
Would you recommend this visa to others and if so do you need a person who speaks Japanese for the application? Could you give any good tips or advice?
Why should more people apply for the visa?
Is there anything else you would like to share with us?
If people want to follow you or your company, where can they go?
What are your plans for the future in Japan?

The truth 📱🎙️:
Please be aware that I film with an old broken phone. On top of that, I don't have a good mic yet and I am learning by doing. 😄 In the future I wanna improve the setup and develop better cuts, transitions and footage. I hope for your understanding. I will probably laugh out loud when I look back on the videos in some time... 😂
Cheers
