Planning to go to Japan at some point between September-November and wondering if anyone can give me an idea how probable it is for me to get a Visa.
Background: Lawyer for less than a year, earning net of around 60-70k although base salary is only 20k. I have travelled many times pero SEA countries lang. Last travel was in 2019. My main concern is my low ADB and financial situation. Though stable naman ang income, most of the extra pay I get are given to me via cash (bayad sa hearing, consultations, notary, etc.) and hindi ko na nadedeposit sa bank because I am a breadwinner, another concern ko. Though I'm not married, I support my parents. Most of the money na nakukuha ko, agad nagagastos for my family so hindi nagtatagal sa bank which eventually will affect ADB.
I have calculated the expenses for a 5-day trip already and I am at least secure in the fact that I will be able to fund the Japan trip on my own. It's really just the documentary requirements re finances that may pull it down.
Please let me know what you think and if you have pieces of advice and suggestions. Thank you so much!
EDIT: Additional info lang na baka makatulong sa pag-assess ng query ko. I will be staying with Japanese friends (husband and wife) becuse they're the ones who invited me (and one other friend) to the wife's small art exhibit. For 3 days, sa kanila ako and 2 days lang hotel. They are also willing to give me an invitation letter that I can attach to the application. They mentioned that they would be taking us to tourist spots and showing us around. How much will this affect, if at all, my chances?
