Certification of Nomi Health test results

Sorry, I'm in a hurry and have to ask ！
I tested with Nomi Health and got a test result, but it only shows "test name:C19. Result:negative"
The test Result:negative" and there is no description of the test method, etc.
Is it possible to take a screencap of just this and paste it into MySOS?
Or can I print out a negative certificate from somewhere else?
It would be helpful if you could tell me ！.

When you get the results, follow the form that appears on MySOS, write that I tested negative, sign it, and give the store name as flea health. I also had a lot of trouble understanding this 🥲.

I heard that it is very difficult to send more than $ 2500 items from the U.S. to Japan.
I have some items that I really want to send, but if anyone knows how to do it, please let me know.

This may not answer your question, but while you are thinking about it, why don't you take it with you and transport it to Japan yourself ？
since you still can't find the answer even if you do a lot of research anyway.
That would be more reliable ？.

Yes, that's right. If you have time, that would be cheaper than the shipping cost. ！

It is very kind of you to surprise your family.
If you want to surprise your family, you should ask someone you trust to order a different product and deliver it in Japan. If you want to surprise your family, ask someone you trust to order a different item and have it done in Japan, so that you don't have to bother your management
and can simply make your family happy more quickly. In Japan, everything is available as long as you pay for it.

I am considering a trip to Korea, but I am wondering if there are any special visa or inspection requirements for Japanese living in Hawaii to visit Korea at this time.
If anyone knows anything or has been to Korea recently, please let us know.

A visa is required.

My daughter-in-law (Japanese nationality) living in Hawaii and my son-in-law (Korean nationality living in Hawaii) planned a trip to Korea to show my grandson, but my daughter needed a visa and applied for it at the consulate, but they said it would take 4 weeks to get the visa and my grandson's summer vacation would be over, so only my son-in-law and grandson So my son-in-law and grandson went alone. I heard that if you make your plans early enough, you can get the visa.

I am going to Korea.
Currently, a tourist visa is required to enter Korea for travel purposes.
To enter Korea, you need to submit a negative test certificate at least 2 days before departure. Also, it is required to retest within 3 days of entry and report the results.
I applied at the Korean consulate in Japan for a family visitor visa, which is a different type of visa from a tourist visa, and it was approved within a week or so while I was temporarily back in Japan. The tourist visa takes a little longer (about 2 weeks). I think the waiting time from application to approval is different from the Korean Consulate in Hawaii, but just for your information.

The U.S. Embassy in Tokyo ・ Consulate's website states the following


Q. How long does it take to renew or issue a passport?

A. Usually about 3 ～ 4 weeks.

Q. Can I expedite the passport application process for a fee, like in the U.S.?

A. We do not offer that service outside the US. If you need your passport earlier than usual for travel or other reasons, please consult with us at the time of application.

Please tell me about renewal of Japanese passport.

My son turned 21
and his Japanese passport will expire this July
He was born in Hawaii and has dual citizenship with Japan and the U.S.
Can he renew his Japanese passport after he turns 21
at the consulate anymore? ？
When I ask people around me, some say they can do it ？ and others say they can't ？
what is the actual situation ？
please tell me if you know anyone who can help me out.

Last year, when my 24-year-old son, who has dual citizenship, went to renounce his Japanese citizenship, the consulate advised him to keep his Japanese citizenship because he could renew his passport after the age of 21.
They cannot force you to renounce your nationality, so if you apply for it, they can make you one.

I was able to renew without any problems.
The receptionist told me
that I have to choose my nationality at the age of 21, but since I haven't decided yet, I will go through the renewal procedure, but if I receive a letter from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I will give up my Japanese nationality at that time.
Has anyone who has renewed his/her citizenship been told the same thing ？?

My son applied for a passport the year before last and was told the same thing.
but it has been 2 years and no letter has been received.

My acquaintance is in his 40s,
he is Japanese born in Hawaii but he still holds dual citizenship.
He has never been to Japan, so he renews it at the Honolulu Consulate.
However, he said he is trying not to cut it off because if he does, it is very difficult to get a certified copy because his relatives are not in Japan. He said that the letter he was told when he applied for his son's application, he has never been told by the consulate about renouncing his nationality.

I am returning to Japan. Experience

Free talk
#1
  • Y
  • 2022/07/06 11:47


I would like to share my experience
I hope it will help someone

I live in Hawaii
The inspection is free by nomi
I uploaded it to My sos and in a few hours
it turned blue.
After online check-in, at airport baggage check
show my sos
2 children's names were mixed up, one with US passport name on airline ticket, one with Japanese passport name
Japanese passport name on My sos
input I entered my passport name
I was nervous because it was different from usual, but I could relax as long as I could get on
I was asked to show my sos after arriving at Narita, but the free WiFi was unstable and I had to search the screen. I follow the flow and when I'm told it's blue, I say yes and proceed, even though it's not completely blue
Of course there are people waiting for it to come out before proceeding
I approach the counter to show my sos
It's still coming round and round, oh no! I wait desperately but it's my turn
it's blue but no connection
I show them the screen
I had a piece of paper but it seems the screen is better after all
is it Wi-Fi free I'm having trouble connecting I was told to wait, so I connected again from the beginning, and after a while it connected and I was able to get through
like this
the WiFi connection was bad, so once you get a good connection and open the app, it's better to keep it that way, but sometimes there happens to be text in the app, so you have to be careful.
I think we were in line for about 30 minutes
We were in the middle of the plane
Small children were given priority
There were people walking around in different lanes, but they weren't in cramped seats or wheel chairs.
I don't know why I heard a Japanese guy in the back talking to someone who probably lives in Japan
I guess everyone is so serious that they do Mysos
It would have been faster to go without doing this ？ ！ I was just like that. I don't really know what the lane was

that's all for your reference
if it helps mothers returning home with their children ！
if you can get on the plane, you're all set good luck!

In my case, it took a year.

Divorce time, age, assets, years married, lawyer
all are different, so I don't think it would be helpful to ask here.

You should ask your current lawyer, who follows the current law.

Most lawyers are free the first time, so you should get an estimate.

It's harder than getting married, but by all means, good luck.

I know this is not very helpful because as Tina said, everyone's situation is different, but
in my case, the divorce was finalized about a month after the other party agreed to the divorce, there was no division of property and no children, and I prepared the papers myself and brought them to the court and filed them.

It is wonderful that you were able to get it done in about a month if you did it yourself ！
It was fast and you saved money on a lawyer.

I didn't have any friends who did it by themselves at that time, so I thought I had to use a lawyer
.

Some lawyers ask for thousands of dollars upfront, so
be careful.

I use Wise all the time. The commissions are low and the rates are almost always the same as the market. You can check the commission rates from the site without creating an account. If you have a Japanese bank account, it is worth a try.
