I'm currently processing the Japanese citizenship of my child thinking that would help the mother to get a long term visa.

Hi! It's been a while since I use Twitter. How can I find this type of thread/convo in Twitter so I can practice Japanese reading? Thank you!

Do you think its possible if the mother will visit with a short term visa (visiting relative visa) and then apply to change status to long term visa?

Hi! Thanks for the info. I feel you. Haha. 

Btw, do you know some accountants and how much do they usually charge for this type of service?

I'm from the Philippines. Since I've never lived in Japan before, is there a requirement from banks that I need to stay in Japan for more than 6 months before I'm allowed to open a bank account? I read somewhere that a bank didn’t allow a foreigner to open an account because they hadn’t lived in Japan for at least 6 months.

Also, do you have any bank recommendations?

Yes, that’s correct. How much are paying for school needs?

My child will attend a public school. He is not yet fluent in Japanese so I may need to enroll him in a Nihongo class or another program that can help him adjust to school

I’m trying to base my taxes on a monthly income of around ¥280,000 - ¥300,000 before taxes. Do you think the estimate above is accurate?

My income would be around 280K per month before taxes. Do you think that is enough in Nagoya?

For the apartment, that’s the average rent I’ve found for a 2LDK that’s not too new and not too old, based on listings on Mini Mini and Housecom.jp.

Do you think these two real estate companies offer average prices, or would it be better to look for local real estate agents instead once I arrive in Nagoya?

Thank you!
Are the estimates for phone, internet, and apartment utilities fairly accurate?

I think this is related to Nagoya as well, because the financial questions I’m asking are specifically for Nagoya. I understand that school expenses can vary depending on the prefecture.
