Question for those who have immigrated outside of the U.S.

My husband has retired and we would like to move to Japan or somewhere in Asia.
I have no relatives in the US that I can rely on.

My question is,
If I receive a letter from the US government or an insurance company saying that I am moving to a foreign country (including Japan),
do you know of any service that would notify me that I am moving to a foreign country ?

I am thinking of renting my home. I would like to rent out my home.
I don't think a real estate agent will do it or anything.

I've seen many people on Youtube and the internet explaining where they are moving to, but I haven't seen any versions of people leaving the U.S..

Thank you very much.

Not myself, but my brother moved to Cebu, Philippines about 10 years ago after living in the US.
In the Philippines, I could get permanent residency status if I deposited about 3 million yen in the bank.
I have a real estate company in Hawaii to manage my apartment in Hawaii, and I receive important documents in the Philippines.

I think it would be easier to immigrate to a country where the U.S. Embassy is located.

First of all, I asked them ! !
I checked with each source and found that the government offices do not ship or send mail overseas.


But that was the letter that I couldn't ignore. Tears

Also
I checked with a famous real estate company and they told me that they don't forward personal letters, pension and insurance letters overseas. However, they said, "We can help you with tax returns related to your lease in cooperation with an accounting firm."
That was the level of service.
No, we pay 10% every month, so we would like you to do it for us. I want to say that out loud.
I'd like you to give me a discount because I don't have to ask you to do more because I have a CPA that I always ask for.

I'm sure that many Japanese owners don't have social security, so it must be easy for them to file their tax returns. This is just one person talking: 。。。。

I was wondering if your brother's real estate agency in the Philippines offers letter forwarding service ? I'd love to take advantage of that ! !
With all due respect, is that a small real estate agency, not a big one? ? I have an image in my mind that they would do it.

I have only been retired for a few months.
I don't even know what kind of letter I will receive in the future. You have to report back to me because of the change. If you don't, you'll be fined $ 2300, and some letters, and you can't ignore them: 。。。。 \모듈을 보려(Well, this is the version that you can manage by yourself because you know when you have to report it. \cHB2863> I'm just using an example.

You also told me about the letter forwarding service ! that rents addresses from accounting firms, ! which I thought was a great idea, but it's a bit pricey.
I thought
this is a good side business if the number of clients increases.... I'm not a professional. I wonder if I can do it because of my credibility as a CPA.... My thoughts went in an unrelated direction. Oh, I'm talking to myself. Sorry.

Eh, ? it's expensive ? you complain ? hey hey hey !
you are right. I'm sorry. !

Well,
I am happy to have your precious time and wisdom.

I can't ask my friend ?
to do this version.

My friend is still struggling with raising children and working, so it's hard to ask her. My single friend is also getting older, so I'm worried about that too. 。。。。
Most of the letters are money related, so it's hard to show them to my friends and 。。。。
I really appreciate your kind words. I'm sorry for being such a bothersome questioner. 。。。。

I'm sorry, but
if there is anyone who still has such a letter, I would really appreciate it if you could give me your wisdom.
Thank you very much 。。。。

Thank you very much for your wisdom

I used to live in San Jose and moved to Japan after retiring ( 2015 ) I got my Permanent Resident VISA in Japan right away because I am a former Japanese ( I need a Japanese guarantor ). I first entered Japan with a 3-year short-term VISA in the U.S. and was able to switch to a permanent residence VISA after one year. The exchange of dollars and yen was regularly Wire between bank accounts held in both the U.S. and Japan. Of course, U.S. tax returns must be filed with the IRS from a Japanese address, and the Social Security Office will send all documents to Japan if you change your address to Japan. If you do not have a bank account in the U.S., you can have it sent directly to your bank in Japan. All of my U.S. investment accounts (Fidelity Investment Accounts) were set up as Mutual Funds, but if my address is outside the U.S., I can sell them, but I cannot purchase new ones. However, ETFs can be purchased. I have no experience in property management in the U.S. because I disposed of all my real estate, but as the previous three mentioned, if you consult with a Japanese real estate company, I think they will manage your property without any problems by paying a certain management fee. One thing you need to be aware of is that for money transfers between the US and Japan, if it is more than 1 million Japanese yen, the bank will report it to the Japanese tax office ( I don't think it goes to the IRS ? ) so you need to be careful. If the person is a US citizen, inheritance upon death is subject to US law, so you will probably need to prepare an English document such as Will. If you have further questions, please let me know as we can communicate directly via email
.

As an addendum to my post of 1 yesterday, a search on Vertual Mailbox brought up the following URL as a PO Box service.

I think this may be helpful. When I was in Japan myself, I did not feel the need for a U.S. forwarding service; I filed a change of address form to a Japanese address with the IRS, Social Security Office, Bank, Insurance, etc., but all mail was sent directly to my Japanese address. Also, regarding the election list, you can contact the Voter Service in your last place of residence in the US and they will send you a mail-in ballot form. The following URL may be helpful.

I have now moved to Hawaii and use a Japanese forwarding service because my Japanese bank will not send my documents to the US.
