Can you make a Japanese bank account while on visa? If not it’s pretty useless
- williamdclt 3y agowhy is a Japanese bank account so necessary?
- ekianjo 3y agosome activities require a proof of residency AND salary in Japan
- j4yav 3y agoThe kinds of activities someone does while travelling for 3-6 months?
- datpiff 3y agoI believe renting somewhere to live often does, so yes.
- sersi 3y agoIf you rent for short term (6 months), monthly mansions don't need bank accounts or proof of residency. It costs about 50% more than you'd pay for long term but you don't have to pay reikin (key money you don't get back), shikikin (deposit for damages).
- ekianjo 3y agoit may be cheaper to live in a hostel rather than a monthly mansion, but depends on your tastes
- true_religion 3y agoLike what activities?
- sngz 3y agogym membership, certain ride share bike rentals in some cities. just few things I tried to do during my last trip.
- ekianjo 3y agonot with a temporary visa like that one. hence the reason why they want them to have overseas revenues
- Shank 3y agoNo, this one doesn’t come with a residency card. Therefore, you won’t get an Individual Number, and you won’t get My Number Card or the ability to open a bank account. Japan is very strict on bank account opening and has made it illegal to keep them beyond your residency or to sell them for this reason.
