Trial for amendment of Article 11 of the Nationality Law
Under the current Japanese Nationality Law, a person "automatically" loses Japanese nationality if he/she voluntarily acquires the nationality of another country.
Now, plaintiffs residing in Switzerland and other countries are fighting in court to amend this. I think this is an important trial for those of us living in the US.
There is a petition campaign on change.org to amend Article 11 of the Nationality Law. Currently, about 43,000 votes have been collected, but it would be great if more people would sign the petition. The next trial will be held in September. By the way, I am an individual and not a member of this association.

If you have already exchanged money in Hawaii, where did you do it ？

Also, have you exchanged money in Japan ？

Thank you very much. Also, is there anyone who can exchange money in Japan?

I arrived at Haneda Airport today and cashed in at Mizuho Bank in the arrival lobby. Today's exchange rate was 136 yen to the dollar, but the exchange rate was 132 yen to the dollar. I think it is not bad.

I use Wise all the time. The commissions are low and the rates are almost always the same as the market. You can check the commission rates from the site without creating an account. If you have a Japanese bank account, it is worth a try.

Dear Koji
I have no experience sending money to Japan yet. I am planning to send money soon, so I would be very happy if you could give me some more information. When I create an account （ and send money ）, do I need my SSN ？ and can I use a family member's name on the Japanese bank account ？?

I don't remember if I used my SSN or not when I opened my Wise account a long time ago, but
according to the following, it's a photo ID.
If you ask me, I remember using my passport or Hawaiian driver's license.

I have never wired money to a family member's account myself, but
according to the following and others According to the following and others, it seems to be possible.
Basically, if you know the bank name, account number, and name of the recipient, you can do it.

State ID, I recently took it too.
You can get it without an appointment. But be prepared to wait.
I heard from someone when I was waiting in line that the best time to get an ID is first thing in the morning on weekdays, or one or two hours before the opening hours.

At 2:00 or 3:00 on weekdays, available times for the next day are released and you can make a reservation. The reservation fills up as soon as it is released, so try to open the website at exactly the right time.

Thank you for your help ！

I am currently in the process of applying for permanent residency with Adjustment of Status ≪(I did not initially intend to live in the US, but due to the Corona situation I decided it would be better to relocate to the US ）). Let me ask you a few questions ！ I am currently anxious and worried.

1 ＞ I had no work permit last year and no income.
2 ＞ I read that FATCA is only required for those who have to file a tax return, so am I right in thinking that I don't have to file if I don't have to file a tax return? （ I have not submitted it yet because I found out about it on April 18, and I would like to do it by October 15 as soon as possible ） I need to submit it

4 ＞ In order to apply for permanent residence, I asked my family to submit a certificate of residence for me in Japan. （ I read that financial assets in Japan ） such as banks, securities firms, etc. are services available only to residents of Japan and must be cancelled, but can Japanese citizens have assets in Japan? But, can I hold deposits, stocks, etc.? If so, you will need to report the cancellation and remit the money to the U.S. the next time you return to Japan, since everything in Japan is considered cancelled when the document is signed by the person in question. I hope the current depreciation of the yen is not continuing. I also saw on your blog that you are talking about freezing my deposit. I am very worried. Please let me know.

Sorry for the sideways entry.

#16 Dear SJDummy

I am thinking of sending money to my sister in Japan, is it ok if it is not $10,000 at a time ？ for example in 4 installments. I don't have a bank account in Japan, so I will send it to my sister. （ I want it to be used for my mother's care ）
If I send my sister a total of $10,000 in one year, will there be any problems on her side ？ like taxes....
I have been away from Japan for 40 years, so I don't know anything about Japan.
Please let me know if you can help me.

It seems that $10,000 is the amount on the U.S. side, and on the Japanese side, if the amount is more than 1 million yen, it will be reported to the tax office. For example, assuming that 900,000 yen in Japanese yen is sent four times, probably no report will be sent to the tax office both in Japan and the U.S. （ Personal Opinion ） This is not a guarantee. If the recipient is the same person, if the tax office learned that information, they would check to see if the gift tax has been reported. （ The tax-free range for gift tax in Japan is up to 1,100,000 yen per year ） Also, on the U.S. side, there should normally be no report to the IRS, but if there is an investigation, the gift is considered to be more than $ 15,000 per year to the same person and a gift tax return will be required on the U.S. side. If the rules are followed, gift tax returns （ must be filed in both Japan and the U.S. ） by the recipient in Japan and the sender in the U.S. , so it depends on how you think about the risk of being discovered by the tax authorities. From this point on, it would be up to the individual, but for this amount of money, I would not file a tax return.

Dear SJDummy,

Thank you again.

My Japanese assets are over 100k.
The other day, I talked to someone who has more assets than I do, and he told me that I should file Form 8938 and FBAR properly, but
he said that if I tell my accountant too much detail, he will just make money from me, so I should just do the small amount properly.
（ For example, accounts under $10 could be written as $8 or $6. As for his wife, he said that she doesn't declare accounts of about 1-2 million. ）
He told us that they have an American accountant, so they do a lot of the work themselves.

I just started to fill out Form 8938 on turbotax, and I can easily find dividends by looking at the brokerage report, but
I have to check the 12 month statement for each account and add up the interest from the bank since it comes in at different times. ？
and it is as the rule says, but the interest on savings accounts is 0.001%, so even if there were tens of millions of dollars, it would only be a few hundred yen,
should I assume 0 yen, ？ or should I put an appropriate number? ？

Another thing I don't understand is that the tax rate on capital gains over one year seems to be 0% if it is less than $44,000, but should interest on time deposits over one year be included in interest? Thank you again. Thank you again.

Dear SJDummy,

Sorry. It is financial income, not financial assets.
Financial income is about 2 million yen, although I learned about these programs this year and sold them in a hurry.

In addition, I would like to know if you know anything about this.
It seems that I have to file form 8621 if I have a mutual fund, but I have no idea. My accountant told me that mutual funds are complicated and I should get rid of them.
Do I have to submit the form even if I hold it and do not make a profit? ？ Is there an accountant who can help me with this part?

taxman, you've done it in so many places that people are complaining about it, and you're aware of it.
Maybe he is playing three roles including the role of questioner,

He must have a lot of time on his hands.
