Getting the Working Visa 2017/7/19 00:00
Hello everyone!
I have a doubt regarding the working visa, is it true that if we do not get 70 points in the point system or if we do not have a salary of 3,000,000 yen we can not be eligible for the working visa?
Thanks in advance and have a great day!

No.

There is not only one "working visa", but many types. Each has its own criteria. See;

The 70 points thing is for a visa called "Highly Skilled Professional".

Salary counts for all visas, but less than it used to. Nowadays, I believe the criteria is that you cannot be paid less than a similarly employed Japanese person.
