I would like to obtain a negative test certificate when I return to Japan, but when I go to the Niu Health page and log in, I cannot find the appointment window.

Please let me know if you know how I can make an appointment for the test.

I also got a negative certificate from Niu health for this trip back to Japan.
Niu health printed out the format specified by the Japanese government, so I did not have to bring it with me.
I was able to board the plane and enter Japan without any problems.

I would like to buy a car. I would like to buy a used Japanese car. I would appreciate it if you could give me recommendations on where to buy a used car from a dealer, points to watch out for, etc.
I am a woman and I have no idea about the engine and other details, so I would appreciate any advice you could give me. Thank you in advance.

#1 Car Mr.

I am a Toyota owner and I too would recommend Toyota ！

I would just recommend a new car over a used car if you can.

Some people have had bad luck with used cars and ended up spending the amount of money they could have bought a new car if they had to send it in for repairs several times.

Corollas are very popular and parts are always available, but

they are so popular that

someone had a tire wheel stolen from a large condo in Waikiki and street parking in Kaimuki. There was a person.

I hope this helps.

I purchased mine from a used car dealer affiliated with a rental car company.
The cars are sold after being used as rental cars in the state of Hawaii.
I think the car has been maintained reasonably well when it was rented.
On the other hand, it has been used by many drivers, so it may have some rattles unexpectedly. After purchase, maintenance is taken to an authorized dealer. For your reference when you check it out.

If a woman goes to look at cars alone, she will be watched closely, so
it is always advisable to take someone with you who understands cars and English. The price of the same car can be different.

Extension of I94

Problem / Need advice

  • 2022/01/11 14:24

I am considering abandoning my trip back to Japan in Corona.
However, my l94 days will expire in April. According to my research, I can extend my stay for up to 240 days if I apply for an extension with the immigration office. I consulted a lawyer and was told that it would cost me $1000 in fees, so I am thinking of doing it myself if I can do it.
Has anyone done this before? ？
Do I just fill out the necessary forms and mail them to the immigration office and then wait?
Thank you very much.

I have been living in the U.S. for many years with a green card, but now I am thinking of getting a Re-entry Permit and living in Japan for about 2 years.
If I change the address of my bank account in the US to Japan, will there be any inconvenience ？
I will not be able to use my Debit card to make purchases from US sites such as eBay ？
If I don't use it, it might get frozen. I would like to use it about once every 6 months.
Please let me know if you know anything about this.

I now live in the US （ Hawaii ） so I use the Japanese mailbox service (jaddress.com). There is a similar mailbox service in the US, where you can get a US address and have your mail or package forwarded or scanned and have that information sent to you. For example, if you Google "personal mailbox mail forwarding service", the following will come up. Prices seem to vary depending on the service.
https://ipostal1.com/
https://www.anytimemailbox.com/
https://travelingmailbox.com/
You might want to check them out. If you plan to return to the U.S., it is very important to keep a good credit history （ because once you lose it, it is very troublesome to build it up again. ） So, I think you should consider it carefully.

Dear hawaii315, I have maintained accounts at both US (Citibank) and Japanese (Mitsubishi UFJ （ ）) banks for many years and have never had any inconvenience with the accounts themselves even though my address is outside the US. However, U.S. citizens and green card holders are required to file a tax return with the IRS no matter where they live in the world, and if they have an account with a balance of $10,000 or more outside the U.S., they are required to report it on Form 1040. They are also required to file a separate FinCEN Form 114 after filing their TAX Return. See below.
https://www.fincen.gov/report-foreign-bank-and-financial-accounts
In addition, Japanese banks require you to submit documents to the US IRS when you open an account. In addition, if a Wire Transfer is made between Japan and the U.S. and the amount is $10,000 or more, the bank will report it to the tax office, and the tax office will later investigate the account holder. （ There has never been any investigation on the U.S. side. ） These are all measures to prevent Money Laundering.

Thank you SJDummy for your valuable information.
It will be very helpful for me to decide where to live in the future.
I believe that the Japanese tax system and various matters regarding bank accounts will change more and more in the future, but I would like to avoid being subjected to extra taxes.

Thank you very much, hawaii4649-sama.

You can deposit the money into your account at the bank.
In that case, you have to do the work of bundling the coins together
If you have a lot of quarters, it can be quite a lot of money and fun
The bank has paper like tubes to bundle the coins.

I have a question...
- I have to take a pre-test （ PCR NAAT test or antigen test ） within 3 days of flight departure to Hawaii, and present a negative certificate from a medical institution
. Does this mean that a negative certificate from a hospital designated by the State of Hawaii is not required as in the past ？?
