Re: Pending- Law to revoke the permanent residency status of foreign nationals who fail to pay taxes

I also sent a mail about this and I’ll quote the response offered “ Thank you for taking the time to reach out to us. I double checked the point you mentioned and confirmed the headline to be accurate. The applications sampled were all submitted by permanent residents and their payments were checked...

Re: Do you use ChatGPT or similar tools?

Used Gemini at the cinema to give me a quick review of Dune Pt 1, storyline, characters etc. before watching the sequel. Then translated the same and passed it over to my wife to bring her up to speed. It was either that or watch Godzilla King Kong trailer.

Re: PR - Successful Application!

Just to follow up on this for anyone doing an application with Shigaku Kyosai. I ended up submitting my pay sheets for the months of February through July. I also attached an explanation from nenkin which explains that data is only shared once per year (in February) between the kyosai and nenkin. Th...

Re: PR - Successful Application!

Thanks for the reply. I took screenshots on June 18. At that time February 2023 was the latest record of payment recorded on the site. Also submitted nenkin tekibin, this also is for 12 months finishing in February 2023. They requested documents that show payments after February 2023, but they don’t...

Re: PR - Successful Application!

Hello everyone, Quick question. I got a letter regarding my application. It says that my nenkin net screenshots do not show payment after February of this year. There seems to be a delay between payment of Shigaku Kyosai and the records of those payments showing up on the nenkin page. Just wondering...

Re: PR - Successful Application!

Thanks for that and a big congratulations to you. Concerned as I had a period of non-payment pre-2012 during my part-time (not studying pension systems) stage of my career. Hoping that 11 years of mutual aid payments should be enough now.

Re: Monex Aplus Credit Card - Requesting Residence Card

I'm tempted to ignore it. Guess just wanted to see if anyone else who has this card had received this request. It looks quite similar to examples of phishing emails they show on their website.

Monex Aplus Credit Card - Requesting Residence Card

I received a mail from this credit card requesting copies of my residence card. The mail is in Japanese and in poorly punctuated English. It asks me to click a link and then enter an ID number and birthday I'm 90% sure it's just a badly composed mail and not a phishing attempt. Just wanted to check ...
