Re: Pending- Law to revoke the permanent residency status of foreign nationals who fail to pay taxes
Agree that the Mainichi is usually fine. I was irked enough to fire off a polite questioning message to them on this one though. Haven't checked out the Japanese original yet to see if that's where the problem lies, but the translation team have to do better than that in any case.

Re: Pending- Law to revoke the permanent residency status of foreign nationals who fail to pay taxes
Grim article in the Mainichi, claiming 10% of permanent residents fail to pay taxes. Turns out this is based on a small sample of PR applications from the immigration department, and includes pension and health insurance. So not actual permanent residents (one would assume such applications were tur...

Re: Delaying pension
Also, a thought I had. I think many of us here are married to a Japanese wife. With how long women in Japan live, and the lack of survivors pension after 65, it may be a good idea to take your pension at 65 or 70, and have you wife delay taking her pension until 75. It will leave her with an extra ...

Re: PR Application with no Job?
In theory, ability to support yourself should not be a factor in PR from the spousal route. Not sure I would want to test that out though. In any case, if you get your application in while still employed there is no need for them to know that you have subsequently become unemployed. You are require...

Re: Any thoughts on eMAXIS Slim Balance (8 Asset Equalization Type)
The Resona Smart-I funds have lower charges and three choices with different ratios of stocks and bonds. There are some REITS in there too, but at lower percentages than your emaxis balanced. Not a recommendation, but might suit what you are looking for.

Re: iDeCo Application with Monex 2024
With mine, there is a lag of a couple of weeks or so between the cash being withdrawn from my bank and it being invested in IDECO and showing up there, so it may well be that.

Re: Contacting NS&I - UK Premium Bonds
That reminds me, I was going through my stuff a while back and found a "Premium Bond Holder's Card" in my name and the address I last lived at in the UK, which was in the 1990s. I have no recollection of how I came to be in possession of it, possibly a present from a relative? I did have ...

Re: Contacting NS&I - UK Premium Bonds
Ah, ok that makes sense about checker. Yes, the posted letter was to here in Japan. So definitely possible to change address through simply filling in the online form. I think you will end up needing to call them by the sound of it though.
