Looking into startup visa for the kobe prefecture and had a quick question.
Do they accept home equity as proof you can support yourself (or your spouse)?
Most of my money's tied up in my house, but if I sold it or borrowed against it, I'd be more than fine. Just not sure if that kind of asset counts.
I spoke with a consultant that said aside from the 5 million yen in transferring to the business visa that you need to show you have the means to support yourself. Said it was 10-15k solo or around 25k for if your bringing your spouse.
I have that in home equity easy.
Anyone tried this or can give me a way to ask Kobe directly?
Thanks!
