If the address of the U.S. bank account is in Japan

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.

Sorry, I am writing this not for advice, but because it is something I am also wondering about, and I would like to take advantage of it.
Since I am not bringing money into Japan, I think it is probably OK, but I would like to know if I will have to pay taxes in Japan depending on the balance.
Lord, I apologize for the intrusion.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

I had lived in California all my life, but from 2015 to 2019 I lived in Japan.Because of TAX, I changed all my financial institutions, Social Security Office, and IRS registration address to Japan. However, I was allowed to use an acquaintance's address only for credit cards to be used in the U.S. (AMEX) and I used a U.S. address. The reason is that the card is basically only issued to US residents. All statements were online only (, no mail ), so I had no problem. However, when the card expired, a replacement card was sent to a friend of mine and he forwarded it to me in Japan. This way, my credit history in the U.S. would be continued and I could use that history when I would live in the U.S. again in 2019. ( When you are in the process of getting a new Mortgage ) My personal recommendation is to change your address to Japan without closing your bank account, and to use only one credit card ( ) as a minimum and leave it at an acquaintance's address in the U.S. Everything else should be closed. Some banks may have a policy of not allowing foreign residents to open bank accounts, so you will need to check with your bank. If your card is used outside of the US, it may be frozen, so it is recommended that you coordinate with your credit card company in advance ( how often you plan to use your card, where, and for how much ). I discussed the details with AMEX and got an agreement in advance.

Thank you for your comment. I have read it over and over again. I don't plan to take out any loans in the future, so I don't care about my credit history. I am also wondering if it would be very difficult to borrow a friend's address.

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.

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.This text has been translated by auto-translation.

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.This text has been translated by auto-translation.

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.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)
