I have CS engineering degree and have approx 8 years of freelance/self employed experience in India, I also did try to launch some apps as startups in between but none of them yielded any fruitful results.
Now I'm trying to land a full time job in japan. I was reading the whole work visa process and it says I need a CoE to obtain a work visa in Japan. I know the work for it is done by the employer but I have few doubts.
I'm confident enough that I have the technical ability to clear the interviews and get someone to sponsor the visa process, but I'm worried about lack of any "official" employer which can be attached with a proof. I do have some quotations to my clients but they don't have anything like some registration number or such. I was just doing freelance gigs and got paid through bank transfers online, I don't have a registered company, i didn't pay taxes because my earnings never exceeded tax threshold in my country.
Would it cause any hurdle in CoE, or raise a red flag so as to speak, or the CoE could be processed as long as I have a sponsor willing to sponsor. I'm also applying for senior roles which require 5+ years of work ex, can i appy for those, or should I apply for junior roles which do not specifically require any work ex?
I don't have any criminal history, and no formal japanese knowledge btw. I'm only applying to English speaking jobs.
