I am planning to bring my child, 3 years old, to my parents' home in Japan for about 2 months from the end of the year.
I am planning to register my child at my parents' house during this time, and I would like to include him in my health insurance during this time.
For those who are returning to Japan with their children for a few months,
Do you include your child in your health insurance plan or do you pay separately only during this time? ? I am not sure.

The following statement can be found on the Japanese Consulate website

We are pleased to announce that , by agreement between the Government of Japan and the State of Hawaii, , effective December 20, 2018, , those who have ( proof of Hawaii State residency ) see required documents below , and a valid Japanese driver's license will be , exempted from the written and practical driving tests. , are exempted from the written and practical tests when applying for a driver's license in Hawaii.

If anyone has renewed or obtained a Hawaii driver's license in this manner, we would appreciate receiving information regarding the procedure.
I am wondering what I need to prepare, especially with regard to the two forms of proof of Hawaii residency, since my electric, cable, and internet bills are included in the maintenance fee and automatically deducted from my account, and my bank statement is paperless. I would appreciate any information you may have.

electric utility expense

Family of 3 (one college student) in condo, 2 bed 1100 sq ft, electric bill this month is $350
$268, also higher last month. Air conditioner set to 83F, dryer about once a week for 40 minutes hardly used.

Dishwashing every day. Two computers, one TV. Called electrician, but he said it might be the panel.
I looked on the internet to see how much it would cost and it was over $2000. The refrigerator was not working well
and the electrician told me that it might be because of the fan of the refrigerator
. It is difficult to unplug the power supply from the refrigerator because it is a plug-in refrigerator.
I also heard that the electricity bill is going to increase by 17% from now on, and it is very difficult to live. I think there is a problem or a malfunction, but do you know where I can get it checked out? Thank you in advance.

I got married internationally and applied for a green card, travel permit, and EAD card at the end of last October.
I had my green card interview at the end of April this year, and I received my green card successfully.
However, I still have no movement on my travel permit and EAD card. However, I still have no movement of my travel permit and EAD card. I am thinking of going back to Japan this fall, but I wonder if it is better not to go back. ?
In case you are wondering, I did not use a lawyer for this application, and I did it by myself.

About my bank account in Japan

I have been wondering about something that I have not been able to clarify, so I would be glad if anyone here can help me.
I know that you cannot open a Japanese account when you live abroad, but ① it is not illegal to keep the account you opened when you lived in Japan after moving abroad, right?
However, ② if you leave it for about 5 years, it will be frozen, although the period varies depending on the bank. Is that considered as being used if there is a wire transfer and not frozen ??

It is not illegal, but different banks have different rules. Some banks allow you to keep your account, while others require you to close it.
If you leave your account for 5 or 10 years without any activity, it will be frozen. If you have deposited or withdrawn even a single yen, your account will not be frozen.

Thank you for your prompt reply !
I knew that there are cases where you cannot hold an account if you live abroad ! I was wondering if that was the case and was bothered that I could not ask this question directly to the bank.
I guess "deposit" includes transferring money to my account ? If you can, please answer me.

I would like to ask about taxes on the sale of stock.

In the U.S.A. / Is there a profit and loss taxation system in Hawaii ?
If there is, it seems that in Japan you can carry it forward for 3 years from the next year, but in the U.S.A. / How many years in Hawaii ?

Do you know? If anyone knows, I would appreciate it if you could tell me.

Corona infection before trip to Hawaii Consular letter

Question

Hello.
I am going on a trip to Hawaii next week for 2 weeks, but I have a corona infection and was in home quarantine until yesterday.
I had an antigen test done this morning and it was negative, but I heard that PCR tests can be positive for several weeks after infection.

I will return to Japan one month after my corona infection, but I am worried about the PCR test before returning to Japan.
I understand that I can get a consular letter if I still test positive after a complete recovery, but do you know what is required or when I should apply to the consulate?
Can I just get a medical care certificate or something like that from the municipal health center? (It shows the date of corona infection.)
I couldn't find out anything about it, so I asked here. Thank you in advance for your help.
