Hi everyone,
I am an international student residing in Japan under mext scholarship, and as a fresh student who is still learning Japanese and do not have a job yet, I'm suffering from a financial crisis. there were some nice people who were willing to help me with some money and I will recieve and return the money through bank transfer.
My question is, will there be any legal issues regarding these transfers, regarding tax and the source of money, especially if I was willing to apply for perminent residency in the far future. Excuse my ignorance, I came from a country where we use only cash and don't know how bank or tax system work, and I don't want to break any rules that will affect me later.
PS. I'm talking about 15-20万 worth of money, around a month worth of expenses.
