Frequently Asked Questions

I plan to establish a corporation in Japan. Must the corporation enroll in social insurance even though it does not have employees?

Basically, all companies in Japan must enroll in social insurance. However, when all employees’ labor time is shorter than a certain level, such as a part-time job, there is no need to enroll in it. On the other hand, even the company that pays only the director’s fee must enroll in social insurance.
