如何计算高度专业人才积分 - 由行政书士解说

Yes, you will receive the 10 points. However, if you graduated from a vocational school (専門士), it does not qualify for points.

No, you cannot receive the bonus. The 5-point bonus is only awarded when you obtain a Master's or PhD in multiple fields.

Yes, as long as it's in the same field as your current job. However, you will need to provide documentation to prove your work experience.

To count your work experience points, the following information must be included in the documents:

• The period of employment (start and end dates)
• Job description (details of your responsibilities)
• Issued by the company (must be an official document)

Proving past work experience, especially from before you came to Japan, can be challenging. If you cannot obtain official documents, you should gather any possible evidence that shows your employment dates and job responsibilities.

Examples of acceptable documents:

• Employment certificate
• Offer letter
• Employment contract
• Separation certificate
• Pay slips during employment

The income that can be included in the calculation is the compensation paid for the work performed. Reimbursements for expenses such as transportation or housing costs cannot be included.

Overtime pay cannot be included in the income calculation at the time of application because it is uncertain how much overtime will occur in the year following the application.

However, if you are applying for permanent residency as a highly skilled professional, overtime pay can be included in the income for the previous year or three years prior, as it is clear that overtime occurred in the past.

When calculating annual income for Highly Skilled Professional points, you can base the calculation on a one-year period starting from the application date. For example, if you apply in March 2022, the calculation will be as follows:

• Period to prove estimated income: April 2022 to March 2023
• Period to prove income for the most recent year: April 2021 to March 2022

Generally, one of the following documents is used to prove annual income:

• Tax certificate of residence tax
• Withholding tax certificate issued by the company

Income from a foreign company can be included in "Annual Income" in the following cases: when you are transferred from a foreign company to a Japanese company, or when you are paid by a foreign company that is related to the Japanese company you work for (e.g., a parent or subsidiary company).
