Hello, i really need help seeking an answer to this so i appreciate whatever info anyone can provide!
I am a US resident that would like to move to Japan for about half a year to finish developing a video game. I understand that the 90 day travel period can be reset by a brief trip abroad, so im not worried about the duration. What i am worried about is that since I dont have a visa, if my game turns out to be a financial success that I would have to pay income tax to two nations at the same time. I do not have a work visa and cant get one since i neither have a sponsor on the mainpand nor the exorbitant cash reserves a visa requires.
Is it possible that since i am not collecting a wage from anyone and just making this game as a form of self employment, that I could go to Japan and their tax officials wont pursue me? Im not familiar with the ins and outs but i dont see it like im going to japan to steal someone's job or something
