Re: New NISA Tsumitate - minimum monthly?

Thanks, I believe the limit is how much time you are prepared to spend cancelling and recreating your orders :) Which doesn't seem such a pain - if only once, or twice a year. It might be possible to fiddle with it and actual have it only ever execute bonus orders (then cancel before the tsumitate d...

Re: New NISA Tsumitate - minimum monthly?

Thanks Adamu. Does anyone know if there is a yearly limit to how many times orders can be cancelled/recreated into a Tsumitate NiSA?

Re: New NISA Tsumitate - minimum monthly?

Further to above reading through this thread (regarding SBI) https://www.retirejapan.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=36792#p36792 it seems I can set 1 or 2 bonus dates a year when setting a recurring buy, but that I need to set a bonus buy amount at the same time? Ideally I want my bonus commitment to be ...

Re: Backpaying UK Class 2 NIc's

Good news! My Government Gateway showed "In Progress" two days ago, but changed to "Completed" yesterday. But knowing I had my communication settings set to "online" but had received no email, nor any messages on my GG page, I thought it prudent to call just to check st...

New NISA Tsumitate - minimum monthly?

Hi, can anyone tell me the minimum monthly amount that can be invested in the Tsumitate Portion? I'm planning to set up the minimum amount, but make a bonus payment to max this year's allowance, probably next year too, but don't want to commit myself to the max amount for future years just yet... An...

Re: UK driving licence

Can I jump into this post and ask how long an international licence takes to be issued? Is it same day? And is a travel ticket really necessary, or can a current Japanese licence (plus UK green pink paper licence, if needed), and UK passport, be sufficient? Sorry to bring the thread into a darker pl...

Re: Backpaying UK Class 2 NIc's

I do agree that premiums will go up. Based on info from last year to this NIc's havee risen by 9.5% and I'd based my (worst case?) figures on that increase occuring every year. Doing so, basically means my years 2015-2019, will amount to close to the same as my final five years and so your point to ...
