How do I prove my income when applying for permanent residence using the points system for highly skilled professionals?

Hello.

This is Kimoto from the Support Administrative Scrivener Corporation Osaka branch.

The general requirements for applying for permanent residence are that a person must have lived in Japan for 10 years or more, of which 5 or more years with a work permit.

However, if you score 70 points or more on the points system for highly skilled professionals, this requirement for the number of years will be relaxed.

If you maintain a score of 70 or above for three years and a score of 3 or above for one year, you can apply for permanent residence.

If your workplace cannot issue one, you will not be able to prove your current annual income and will not be able to apply for permanent residence.

(Similarly, please note that if a salary estimate certificate cannot be issued, you will not be able to apply for a highly skilled professional position.)
