Graduated with PhD from Tokyo tech. Have 80+ points. Consistent income up until last year when I converted the company I’ve been running for years as a sole proprietor into a Japanese 株式会社 where I own all the shares. Now that income (about 1000万 yearly) is not “mine”. Looking to apply for PR on the point system though and wondering what salary I should declare for myself. Ideally I want to keep the money in the company to pay for business expenses and R&D, etc. but if I have zero personal income I assume my PR will get rejected so I’m looking at giving myself about 300万 a year. Maybe that’s not enough?
Anyone faced this dilemma? Any guidance greatly appreciated.
edit my 万 calculations were off (had added an extra zero 😓) sorry for the confusion – trust me this is a serious post.
