How to call a Japanese landline from Hawaii on your cell phone

Question

I use a prepaid account with a company called MYSTAR GOLD to call Japan.
I have been using this company for a long time and have no problems, but from the time I first started using them until now
the company name has changed about twice. I think the first one was called MYSTAR123.
I decided to recharge my account because my balance was getting low and when I looked for the website
I found that the website was gone.
Periodically I get text messages from this company saying 50% off or sale if I recharge today
so it seems I can recharge if I call them.
However, I am concerned because the website that used to be there is gone.
I would like to know if anyone has used this company and recharged over the phone and had any problems.
Or what other methods （ or companies ） do you recommend for calling Japan?
Thanks in advance.

I buy a PennyTalk prepaid card at Longs. Each time I buy a card for $ 25, it says 4 ¢ per minute for calls to Japan. I rarely have the opportunity to make international calls to Japanese phones, but I always have it on hand for calls to hospitals and other places where I can't reach someone without a phone call.

I am on Skype's Japan Unlimited Min Landlines plan. I pay about $ 11 every 3 months and I think the annual fee is even more discounted. That's what you get with Unlimited. Useful for calling my parents' house. When I call from Skype, I just run the Skype app on my phone and call directly from there to a landline in Japan （ 81- number. ）. It's easy and convenient.

Thanks for the training

information.
In my case, I would prefer to use
a prepaid card rather than paying ＄ 11 every 3 months since I only call Japanese landlines 3-4 times a year.
but I will refer you to it. Thank you very much.

It's been a while since I've made stir-fried vegetables, simply with salt and pepper, soy sauce and sake, and it was crazy good.

Do you have any other suggestions for seasoning ？?

I found an omission on my tax return last year and did not file a return.

Problem / Need advice

If I fail to file a return, is there any additional taxation or anything like that? ？


I am currently living in Japan and started a Partnership LLC in California with a friend who lives in the US.
No expenses have been incurred.
My friend is doing the tax filing as an LLC.
I have not received any distributions from this LLC, but I am doing a TaxReturn because the earnings of the Partnership LLC are considered personal income.

I have been filing two tax returns,
Federal 1040NR
State 540NR
and since 2021 I have been using the TaxReturn filing tool （ TaxAct ） to file my tax returns via e-file. TaxAct TaxReturn
I thought I had completed the 2022 return, but the State return was not sent. It seems that I did not meet the e-file requirements. I checked and found that I also failed to file for 2021, so I think I will file another return by mail.
Note that I have received some money back from Federal, but not from State.

If I include last year's return to the state, will I have to pay additional tax like in Japan?

I am a student visa status holder who recently married an American. My partner says that we can apply for permanent residence by ourselves without using a professional firm or a lawyer. I know that the company is not a lawyer, but they can take care of the procedure for you, and I think they know how to do it cheaper than a lawyer, so even if it costs a little more money, I think it's better than doing it yourself.

We talk about it a lot in this group, and since we have over 10,000 members, I think you can get some pretty specific advice.
Facebook has recently added an anonymous posting feature, so you can protect your privacy.

Has anyone recently returned to Japan from Hawaii where the parents were not vaccinated and the child was under 6 years old and entered Japan without PCR testing ？

I was told at the hospital in Hawaii that it is safe for children under 6, but I am a little concerned ….

Hello. If the parents have been vaccinated, the child traveling with them is exempt, but if the parents have not been vaccinated, a PCR test is required 72 hours before the flight, as is the case with the parents from the age of 0.
My friend did not know this and brought a negative test report last week, but her 1 year old son was denied boarding because he did not have a negative test report.
