In most cases, it’s a small room (sometimes just 2×3 meters) with basic furniture.
However, the lease contract officially states a space of 30 square meters or more, which is important for:
- Company registration
- Work visa applications
- Passing inspections by tax and immigration authorities
✅ Benefits of a Virtual Office
- Low cost — prices start at around ¥10,000 per year
- Located in business centers — builds credibility and trust
- Access to shared infrastructure — meeting rooms, kitchen, printers
- Scalable — easy to upgrade to a full office in the same building
- Supports visa processing — if documents are correctly prepared
⚠️ Important Limitations
- Not all banks accept virtual offices for opening corporate accounts
- Some tax authorities may require photo/video proof of the space
- Not suitable for companies with staff working onsite daily
