PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for manufacturing a seamless pipe, with high productivity and high economical efficiency, which is used for a driving belt, a fixing belt, or the like, of a printer, a photocopier, or the like. SOLUTION: The method for manufacturing the seamless pipe comprises forming a dissolution layer on an outer surface of a cylindrical die by using a material which has different dissolution characteristics from a target metal, forming a plating layer thereon by plating the target metal into a desired thickness, then dissolving/removing the dissolution layer to separate the plated layer from the die, and providing the obtained plated layer as the seamless pipe. The method can easily separate the plated layer from the die, because of forming a space between the die and the plated layer by dissolving/removing the dissolution layer. In addition, the load for the waste water treatment can be largely reduced, because a removed part by dissolution is only the dissolution layer, and the dissolved metal can be reused if the material and the dissolving solution are appropriately selected.
