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.

About Zip air

Question
#1
  • Maruko

  • 2021/12/16 11:39

While my mother is under mandatory quarantine here in Corona due to her illness,
I have to return to Japan temporarily on short notice,
the airfare is higher than I expected
I would like to ask those who have flown with zip air, which has lower prices, for reference.

I found out that there are additional charges for checked baggage and carry-on luggage. I think it would be convenient because there are now some packages that include checked baggage and meals as part of the package.
I was wondering if there is any inconvenience because the price is so cheap
or if the arrival point is far away
or if the airline is not good for forced quarantine
or any other information that would be good to know when choosing .
I have lived in Hawaii for 15 years now and return home every year
and recently it has always been Hawaiian.
Hawaiian does not match our itinerary and price this time
I am also considering zip Air.
I haven't been back to Corona for 2 years and don't know anything about the new airline, so I thought I'd post this in case there is anything I can do.

please do let me know.

I am just returning home using Zip Air.

I chose this airline because the price was more reasonable than other airlines. I decided to purchase Zip Air because the price was more reasonable than other airlines and I also considered the cost of the PCR test required to enter Japan internationally and to return to Hawaii.


The Zip Air counter was located near the JAL counter and Hawaii Airline staff assisted us with check-in.
On the plane, there are no monitors on the seats
so you might want to bring your own iPad or something. The seats are not equipped with monitors, so you might want to bring your own iPad, but the Wi-Fi was free
so I spent my time messaging my family and surfing the net.
No drinks were served, only meal offerings and a small bottle of water. After getting off the plane, I had to sit in a chair and wait for almost an hour to submit my documents before the PCR test, but since I had only had a small bottle of water for in-flight use, it was very difficult to spit it out.
It is better to drink as much water as possible on board.
The number of passengers was in the single digits, so the waiting time was not that long.
The arrival lobby was Terminal 1.

I am still in Japan, so I don't know about the return flight. If I don't know, I ask Zip Air Customer Service online, but they didn't give me a very good reply about the negative certificate.

It is a low-cost airline, so I don't think I should expect so much.

Thank you for your valuable experience. I am stunned that I am finally going to be quarantined 6 days from Hawaii
I guess I deserve it in case I brought a Corona to my family in Japan. Sure, you can ask questions at customer service. I also have a lot of uncertainties about the inspection when I return, so I will ask them. Thank you for everything. Please take care of yourself for the rest of your stay.

I was lucky that I was only quarantined at home for 14 days when I entered Japan about 2 months ago.
I thought that the number of infected people in Japan has been decreasing and the situation back home would gradually warm up, but with the appearance of the new Omicron mutant strain, things are getting tougher and tougher. The situation of entering Japan and returning to Hawaii changes every day, so I think it is very difficult for everyone to keep track.
I am also anxious to return to Hawaii safely.

I think you should register My SOS, Contact Confirmation App before you enter Japan, it will save you time as they will check if you have downloaded it properly after PCR inspection.
After that, a staff member explained how to use the app, but I hesitated because the desks next to each other were too close to each other. I think you should be careful during this time. During my stay, I am meeting people I want to meet while I am here. I don't know when I will be able to enter Japan again.
I know that there are people living in Hawaii who have not been able to return to Japan for many years.
Due to the new Omicron strain, it has become more difficult to enter Japan. I hope this new strain will not cause much damage, and I hope we will be able to enter and return to Japan soon as before.

What can you tell me about Snap(EBT card )?

I would like to know if it can be used at the following stores in Honolulu.

★ Nijiya
★ Mitsuwa
★ Walmart
★ Hmart
★ 88 Pal Palu Supermarket(Korean Supermarket in Keamoku)
★ Palama
★ JJ Bakery
★ Liliha Bakery (not a restaurant, but a place to buy bread, coco puffs, etc)
★ Burg
★ Kulkul
★ Cake M
★ Long's
★ Walgreens
If you know of any other stores that you thought were available but were not, I would like to know the specific names.

I know that the EBT card cannot be used in restaurants, but can it be used in places that sell take-out that are not warm, such as the little sushi restaurant in Kapahulu ？ Can't I use it because it is treated as prepared food ？

. ？
Can the balance be carried over to the next month or later ？ or is it invalid if not used within the month ？

I will be receiving my card soon and wanted to know in advance. I wanted to know in advance.

Thank you very much for your help 🤲.

How long will Mr. Corona

＞ ask him about it, and he will suddenly come up with seniors and disabilities.
＞ People who work decently hard work hard to make ends meet with daily ingredients rather than sushi and cake.

I really felt that.
We get protection from the state through taxes collected from working people.
Don't you think we should first use it to buy the minimum amount of food we need to survive? If you are a sane person.

I happened to see a video on YouTube the other day, and I was on the verge of homelessness with my two children before, and I heard about food stamps
from a friend and did some research. However, I had a strange sense of pride, and in the end I managed to get by without assistance.
Looking back, I wish I had received food stamps because I was really struggling. That's what aid is for.
I still feel bad that I put my pride first and made my children live on
cup noodles and water for a few weeks, especially if they have children.
We should be grateful to receive them when we need them and work hard until the day comes when we don't need them.
This video made me proud of the pride that people have in those who are breaking free from receiving benefits forever💪

Lord

I was rude to those who are disabled and unable to work.

I think they deserve support from the government.

I know a person who lives with two adults

and receives support from the government, yet there are people who complain about the food rations

they receive and go to the extent of asking for it

and I just couldn't help but think of that person. I was overlapping with that person.

It would be nice if there were more places where EBT could be used.

Good luck.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write to us.

My unemployment insurance benefits ended in September, and after that my income was only for one Social Security.

My job search hasn't been going so well with no contact from anyone, but I'm not going to give up.
If I can find a job, I think I can and should be able to live without assistance with Social Security and my salary, even though I am barely making ends meet as before.

Corona also has no shortage of causes for concern, such as the outbreak of Omicron stock, but I hope that you will take care of yourself and have a safe holiday season.

Thank you very much.

Aki. The purpose of the student visa is not to work in the first place.
It is not okay to have a deposit in a Japanese bank with a Japanese partner and it is income. It is a job online and in the US while residing in the US and Hawaii.
Student visa is not acceptable.
Your friend is already on the immigration list or will be soon. He will not be able to renew his next visa or he will be deported.

Even if you report it, the immigration office will not act on it.

Also, there is a possibility that the person who is working has a family situation and has obtained an

working illegally based on your own judgment would be an accusation.
You need to be sure that the person is working illegally.
