Freelancer visa contract requirement loophole?

So I know the freelancer visa (yes I know that’s not a real name if it) requires you to have a contract with a company for around 200k yen per month. What’s to stop me from opening a KK company and create a contract with myself? It’s not a pass through company and is thus its own entity even if I’m the owner, I’m separate from the KK, thus from a legal perspective I’m not really making a contract with myself. Does anyone know of any language in the visa guidelines that say you can’t do this?

  2. This won’t work. They WILL check out the company. It’s supposed to be a Japanese company with legitimacy, one that can be contacted to verify the contract.

    This is essentially visa fraud.
