It is tax return season. I would like to ask for your wisdom as to what kind of tax saving measures you are taking.
Almost all of my income is from my corporate job.

I have a 401k that is maxed out.
IRAs could not be deposited due to income limits.
My children's college tuition was also not deductible due to income limits.

Even if I don't make it to this year's tax return, I'd be very grateful for the help for next year.
- do freelance work and deduct expenses
- create an LLC and use income from salaried work to fund the business

I just read the 3 ／ 8 update on hawaii-arukikata.com, and Niu Health has informed us that the $ 89 antigen test, which was available until February, is no longer available for travel to Japan. (March onwards) …. Now, only $ 129 PCR tests are available, and the results take 24-48 hours. I have no idea why the antigen test is no longer available ….

I think you need a PCR test to enter Japan, not an antigen test. They also issued a negative certificate for entry into Japan in Japanese ＋ English, which was very helpful. There was also a person in charge of Japan.
I think there were about 4 time courses.

Thank you for the useful information ！

There was a mistake at the clinic where I had made an appointment and I was not able to take the test
I went to wellness4hawaii as soon as I saw this post.

I didn't have much time before I left Japan, so I took the test which took only 30 minutes to get the result. ！

Permanent residency after returning home

Question
#1
  • 帰国後永住権

  • 2022/01/09 14:22

Please let me know if you know of any.

I am currently considering returning to Japan. I know that I can return to Japan and still receive Social Security in Japan after retiring from the US, but what will happen to my permanent residency?

1 ． Can I still receive Social Security in Japan even if I give up my permanent residence?
2 ． If I want to keep my Permanent Resident status, do I have to return ？ to the US once a year?
3 ． If I stay in Japan without doing anything, will I automatically lose my permanent resident status?
4 ． I have heard that the permanent resident status remains the same unless I voluntarily renounce it, but
if I eventually come back here with the permanent resident status after 5 or 10 years （ if I am still alive and well ） can I come back
with that permanent resident status? Can I come back with that permanent residency 。。。。

I am considering returning to Japan to care for my parents, but after they pass away, if I am still healthy, I would like to come back to the US. I would like to receive the pension in Japan, but I am wondering what will happen to my permanent residence after that... I have so many questions. If anyone knows anything about this, I would appreciate it if you could tell me.

Let me answer your question about Tutsan.
I also called the consulate and was told to remove my family registration before applying for a visa.
Then I thought about it and realized that removing one's family register is the same as renouncing one's nationality.
In other words, people born and raised in Japan don't have a piece of paper to prove their Japanese nationality.
The only proof that you are Japanese is your family register.
The family register department at the government office has no way of knowing that I became an American citizen unless I notify them, and I haven't removed my family register, so it must still be there.
I think that if I have a family register, it means I have a nationality.
Of course I know that Japan does not recognize dual citizenship.

So, back to the question, did you remove your family register to get the visa?
I guess it is correct to say that I did not.
I did not remove my family register because I was still attached to Japan, and I felt that my identity was there.
Also, there was a possibility in my mind that I might return to Japan in the future.
I have heard that the procedure of living in Japan will go more smoothly if I have my family register in order. Anyway, I'll leave my family register as it is for now and hope that Japan will soon accept American travelers without visa like before.

If a Japanese person changes his/her nationality to American and has to obtain a visa
to go to Japan,
the person who changed his/her nationality should think about what to do and come to a conclusion.

Some people cancel their trip, others have to go because of family reasons,
there are various reasons, so they should think about it and come to a conclusion.

But I don't see any posts from people who have cancelled their nationality and got a Japanese visa.

I looked on Google and it says the rent increase is ONCE EVERY-12-months, is this correct?

Immediately after receiving the email, I went to Straub's in the Sheraton Hotel (? I went to the Strub Workshop in the Sheraton Hotel to fill out the Japanese language format.
Filling out the form was free of charge.

I returned home temporarily in the summer for my children's summer vacation. I had a negative certificate issued by St. Luke's.
We were on a Haneda flight, but once you arrive in Japan, you will be asked several times at the airport to confirm your travel documents, etc. I recommend that you keep all the necessary documents in a file case so that you can get them out quickly. There will also be an inspection for an app to check your whereabouts during your voluntary quarantine in Japan, so don't forget to download the necessary app. And since you will be forced to walk endlessly from inspection area to inspection area at the airport, it is best to keep your carry-on luggage as light as possible. We packed our carry-on luggage in carry-on cases and let the children carry them, while I prepared the necessary documents, cell phones, passports, etc. for the number of people in our party. It took about three and a half hours from the time we arrived at the airport to the time we met the family who would pick us up. You still need negative proof when you return to Hawaii, and you will be issued a Hawaii state form at a Hawaii state-designated clinic. I heard that lawn clinics in Tokyo are cheaper, but since my parents live in a rural area, I decided to go to a local Hawaii state-designated clinic since it was cheaper for me to go to Tokyo and stay at a local clinic considering the transportation and lodging costs. It was a big expense since it was 32,000 yen per person and it was for my family, but I couldn't go back last year and I am glad I took the plunge. On the way back, the airline staff we used at Haneda checked our negative certificates, and we were able to get out of the Honolulu airport easily and crisply, faster than normal, just by showing our boarding passes to the staff at the airport.

If you have a negative certificate designated by the State of Hawaii, there is no voluntary quarantine once you arrive in Hawaii, but it is recommended that you keep a copy of your negative certificate for travel at work or school for a while instead of throwing it away.

I have a question regarding the above.
I am planning to go to Hawaii in February,
I know there have been some changes, such as not having to use designated medical facilities, but
is it possible to have the test done at Kinoshita Group Hospital when connecting at Haneda when traveling to Hawaii ？
?
I heard that I need various documents such as PDF data and English documents ・ but I am confused because there are mixed information such as
antigen test is not covered by this test.

Also, I live in a rural area, but when I inquired about a hospital that can issue a negative certificate for travel to the US, I was astonished to learn that it costs 30,000 yen.

When traveling to Hawaii ・ I would like to know all the necessary documents when returning to Japan ・ If possible, I would like to know all the applications.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Thank you very much.

it's hard to say at this point what will happen more than two months from now.
Now that the Corona disaster is here, the rules are changing rapidly in both Japan and the US. Early preparation is good, but we have to keep in mind that the rules may change .

I used JAL, but the Kinoshita group was fine.
The JAL staff advised us to ask them to handwrite the date of birth and passport number on the Kinoshita Group certificate at the time of inspection, as they are not written on the certificate.
As Mr. Makapuu said, the situation is changing day by day, so we recommend you to check with the airline company right before your flight.
