If the address of the U.S. bank account is in Japan

I have been living in the U.S. for many years with a green card, but now I am thinking of getting a Re-entry Permit and living in Japan for about 2 years.
If I change the address of my bank account in the US to Japan, will there be any inconvenience ？
I will not be able to use my Debit card to make purchases from US sites such as eBay ？
If I don't use it, it might get frozen. I would like to use it about once every 6 months.
Please let me know if you know anything about this.

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.

I work for a Japanese company. I have been working remotely in Corona for over a year now, but the company is now slowly bringing employees back and will be 100 percent back in the office by the end of this year. I had hoped to continue working remotely for as long as I have. I am depressed about going to the office. What is the status of remote work at your company?

I was supposed to return to work in September at my place of employment, but it was recently postponed to after 2022.　However, my department is one that has no problem with remote work, so as of July, I will be working remotely permanently.　I heard that some departments are thinking about hybrid work, but it seems to be a hassle because they have to distribute laptop computers.　

Even though this is a permanent remote assignment, it does not mean that the employee can work from overseas like in Japan, but the employee has to reside in California.　Last month I went downtown to pick up some personal belongings and the traffic was already heavy.

I'm jealous of your permanent remote ！ By the way, is it a Japanese company? What a nice company to have other departments after 2022 ！ If you can move within California, you can move to the suburbs where the house prices are cheaper ！.

If you marry an American soldier...

Question

I have lived in LA for many years and was denied entry a few years ago. I didn't get penalized like being banned from entering the country for a few years, but I think it will be difficult to get a visa in the future for a few years. （ I don't intend to apply for a visa or anything like that in the near future because of Corona at the moment. ）
I thought that marrying a US military person in Japan would be the most reliable and easy way to go to the US, and I have corresponded and met with US military people on tinder, but as I imagined, my personality does not match with US military people.
By the way, I live in Kansai, so there is no US military base nearby, and I don't have any American women friends.
There may be people here who married US soldiers and moved to the US, so I may be offended if I write this, but I was watching on Instagram for American women who dated and even married all US soldiers, and they all seemed like idiots, just as I imagined.
I am tall and have a body shape that is not Japanese, and I sometimes wear American-like fashions and am sometimes mistaken for half-Japanese, so I am popular with Americans and can easily meet American soldiers if I want to, but I don't think my personality is right for them.

Does anyone know any episodes of people who married American soldiers ？
Does anyone feel like you should never marry an American soldier ？?

You have made the same post before. Same content.
If your goal is America, you better not do it.

If you get GC anyway, will you divorce? American soldiers are also in trouble because of corona infection, and they don't have time to deal with Japanese. There are no good people.
I wonder if I will be able to live independently in the US?

Having said that, I see many examples of Japanese men who do business here who also use that line.
For example, restaurant owners and many others.
The wives are non-Japanese (I think there are a lot of American Mexican women, I have never seen a white woman)
In other words, the wife is the wife of the man doing business, and the owner is a green card holder.
In such cases, it's a win-win
Love will happen naturally, if they live together.
