Hello ！ I learned from this topic that nomi health offers a free PCR test
that is valid for when you return to Japan. ！ ！ ！
wellness4 hawaii, Waikiki PCR and St. Luke's are not available.
By the way, my insurance is HSMA.

I have heard of Kaiser. They said they will write it on the Japanese hoomat for free with insurance.

After having an exam at wellness4hawaii, I filed a claim with KP and it was covered in full. I wonder if it depends on the insurance company's policy or the contents of the policy rather than which laboratory is used.

Topi-san I think it is not HSMA but HMSA ？

Like Koji-san, I think it would be faster to ask HMSA.

By the way, I live in Hawaii, so I was able to get a free PCR test from NomiHealth and return to Japan with a negative MYSOS certificate.

I will answer your question
because you can get a double benefit from the Japanese pension and the U.S. Social Security.

#9

It is possible to receive both a Japanese pension and Social Security without being a US citizen, so I don't think the answer to #8 is necessarily on target. If your primary residence is in the U.S. and the majority of your income is from the U.S., then U.S. citizenship is more financially advantageous. （ Especially when an inheritance occurs ）.

I have a question ！

How many years of service in Japan and the U.S. will I be able to receive a pension and Social Security ？

How many months in advance can I apply to renew my Japanese passport? ？

I would be very grateful if you could let me know.

Please let me know.

Since you mention "work," I will answer about the general salaried employee's pension and Social Security. For both, you need to have at least 10 years of service (40 credits for SS) to be eligible for benefits. Please contact the pension office to calculate the specific amount for both pensions.

Japanese passport renewal can be done one year in advance. （ Below ）

Hawaii Humaine society also offers funeral services,
and the prices are all listed on their site,
so you might want to check them out.
I think this is probably the lowest price they offer.

Hello, I would like to know if anyone knows anything about this. I am going back to Japan temporarily, and my cell phone is an iPhone, and I have a contract with Spectrum for an unlimited plan.
If I use my phone as it is in Japan, will the price go up ？
Should I set it to Airplane mode ？
Should I buy a SIM card after arriving in Japan ？
Thank you very much.

According to the Spectrum web site, International Roaming seems to be supported. （ I have never used it and don't really know. You may want to check directly with Spectrum to see what the specific cost will be. When I used to go to Japan, I used to buy a SIM card for Japan from Amazon, etc. before I went there. Of course, it is possible to buy a SIM card after you arrive in Japan. It all depends on you.

Spectrum's Data Roaming rate is . $ 001/mB, which is $ 10 for 1G and $ 30 for 3G, which may be a little high for those who use a lot of data.
There are some eSIM compatible data services available in Japan, such as "Ubigi" and "MOGO", which are introduced in the blog below. Of course, the service uses an eSIM, so your phone must be eSIM compatible. \모바일(If it's an iphone, XS/XS Max/XR or later model ） According to this, 3G ／ in 30 days $ with 9.

PCR test upon return to Japan

Hello, I am planning to return to Japan and would like to get a corona test at a free laboratory like the ones I have seen here to save on unnecessary expenses.
I know Nomi health is often mentioned, but is it ok to go to a place like the free PCR lab at the airport ？
or does it have to be a place that issues a form and not one that sends the results by email so that I can put it on my MYSOS? ？ Is this a problem?

Topy

I did a PCR test at Nomi health and received the results via email, which I was able to attach to MYSOS.

I received the results the next day, but I think you should do the PCR test earlier, 72 hours before, just to be safe.

It is free or paid depending on whether the topical is a tourist or a Hawaii resident.

Thank you Yuan.
I live in Hawaii.
If you know of anyone other than Nomi health who has taken the free test offered by the state of Hawaii and found Mysos to be okay, please let me know.
Thank you so much for your reply.

Although he is not a licensed attorney, he arrogantly leads his clients to believe that he is a lawyer, and then, after receiving payment, he does not respond to them and we have lost touch with him.

I will not name names here, but I know several people who have been victimized.
He is an LA resident.

Some people are in limbo or have given up because they don't know how to fight, including me.
Because of that person I am having trouble getting my visa papers etc. returned and not being able to move on.

I hope all the victims can join forces.
We only asked to make our dream of staying in the US come true.

I don't think we should leave this man alone who is using people's dreams and making many people feel insecure and in business.
There will surely be another victim.
Let's join forces ！ Please contact us.

Also, if you know of any lawyers who read this board who can help us, we would appreciate it if you could introduce us to them.

I feel like I have lost my money and my future.
I hope you will be kind to me.

That was a tough time for you. ・ ・

I think we should form a team, because it is mentally hard to be alone.
Like a victim's group.

If we mention the name of the person who absconded with the money, Bibinavi will process the deletion, so even if we use initials or something
people who know will know.

I am so sorry to hear this, Koko, you may live in Hawaii, but if the alleged perpetrator lives in LA, I think you should start a

topic in Vivinavi Los Angeles, where there may be many more victims ？
who are also victims.
I think there are more people who can share information than in Hawaii.

Hi, I've started to register my sos for my trip to Japan, but when I register my child, the vaccination registration section
is not working
I've left the name of the third vaccine blank because my child has only had two vaccinations, but there seems to be something wrong with that.
I also have a question like "Is this certificate the person who is registering the app ？?" and I have set it to no
. One or more items were not entered correctly. Please check the message and enter your response again.
・ Please select Name and Please select Name and manufacturer of the vaccine used for vaccination
・ Is this the vaccination certificate of the person registered?
Please select your response.

Vaccinations while traveling

Hi ！
I am traveling to Hawaii soon.

I have now completed two vaccinations and am considering a third （ to eliminate quarantine after returning to Japan ）.
However, there is no date that fits in my schedule before my trip to Hawaii and it is unlikely that I will be able to make it
I would like to get the third vaccination in Hawaii,
Does anyone know if it is possible to get the vaccination in Hawaii while traveling on ESTA ？?

If you enter Japan from the U.S. after midnight on June 1 (Japan Standard Time), you are now exempt from inspection upon entry and from waiting at home or other places after entry, regardless of whether you have a vaccination certificate or not.
Therefore, even if you have not been vaccinated for the third time, you do not need to be quarantined after returning to Japan.

If you are going to ask here, you might as well ask a lawyer who is an expert in immigration law. If you want free, every Friday afternoon from 4 ： 30
KZOO Radio AM1210, there is a 30 minute program by Dr. Hidani, a lawyer who specializes in immigration law. Why don't you ask him there? It is in Japanese and might be good.
