Hello, my friend who has been in Japan for a while under SOFA status is going to be opening a real estate business soon (possibly with a Japanese national) and they want to hire me. Everything I have seen says this is possible, as they already own property and intend to transfer it to the company and also will have 10mil yen further invested into the company on top of that, however it won’t have any tax status from the previous year as it had just started within that year. My question is if you think there is any major issues with this or if you think its fine?
Under here https://www.moj.go.jp/isa/applications/status/gijinkoku.html It seems to claim this is possible so long as they have “1 copy of the notification form for opening a payroll office, etc.”
I should add that I am a graduate with a bachelors in IT/Cybersecurity and have 5 years IT relevant work experience and that the visa would be the one linked above a “Engineer, Specialist in Humanities, International Services”. Of course the process of getting lawyers involved and the proper channels are being gone through on their side currently. But I was just curious during the wait if any of you with knowledge on the topic thought there was something you could add. I am just a little nervous and overeager. Thanks for taking the time to read it all.
