Visa application help

During applying for a visa as researcher, what do they mean by:
Material showing the outline of the recipient organization? This is a supporting document to accompany the application.

Also, they asked to fill the monthly salary. Somebody knows a kind of minimum monthly salary that is required to obtain a working visa?

Your response(s) will be very much appreciated.

You can't go to Japan as a self employed researcher. You will need an employer (institute, company, etc.) to offer you a position and to sponsor your application. They will fix your salary and get many other documents required to apply for a visa.

The "outline of the recipient organisation" is a description of the institution that would be sponsoring you and their activities. As Uji says you need a sponsor for this kind of visa, you can't sponsor yourself.

I do have a position. Actually, it is a change of status from Student to researcher. The university is acting as the sponsor, I have the 'award' letter, a statement of financial support document, but WE can't figure out what they mean by outline of the organisation

I think this is one of the documents that your sponsor rather than yourself has to provide. I recommend to consult the contact person at your university.

When they ask for this info with a work visa, they want some kind of document like a brochure that describes what the company you will be working at does. Does the university have any promotional literature, a prospectus for example? That will most likely do. I work at a very small company which doesn't have this kind of brochure or prospectus and I explained that to Immigration and it wasn't a problem.

Sira, you are right. It turned out to be a broucher/pamplet about the organization (university) and the likes. I just returned and that booklet, quite thick, was readily accepted. hope this be of help to some others in the future. thank you all.
