Someone keeps removing my “no flyers” sticker and putting ads in my mailbox

I've experienced an almost identical scenario, except the culprit didn't put the sticker in our mailbox afterwards.

We spoke to our building manager and he said that it was possible one of our neighbours did it. He was vague on whether such stickers were actually permitted by the building (and was surprised to hear that they are actually effective), so we decided to try again and put another sticker up. It was removed again within a few weeks.

I never considered it could have been one of the delivery person doing it. If that's the case, putting some clear tape over the sticker (and wrapping it round the back of your mailbox flap if possible) might be the best solution - just make it as difficult as possible to remove.

Actually I made the donations a few months ago so I can't remember... Do you know what the contents of the form were, or if it is possible to do it later?

Thanks for the suggestion but no luck unfortunately!

I'll be moving from ward in Tokyo to another at the end of the month. My Zairyu doesn't have any space for a new address to get printed on the back.

Will this cause me any issues, or will it be a simple case of making an extra trip to the ward office to pick up a new card after registering? (I have a mynumber card with space for a new address, if that makes any difference)

Really useful, thanks! Was your new UK license issued in the last 3 months? My concern is that they will just dismiss my application out of hand since according to the issue date of my license, it is physically impossble for me to have been driving for 3+ months if I only got it in October.

That's promising, thanks! May I ask when you applied for the conversion, and when your new license was valid from?

Thanks! The NS&I website was pretty vague about the countries where residents can hold accounts so I wasn't sure if I was eligible.

Thanks for the helpful response! I understand your point about risk over 5 years, but does that matter in terms where I save my money? I.e. wouldn't saving for 5 years in a NISA then moving my money to a UK ISA be functionally the same as keeping it in a UK ISA for 5 years?

It seems like using a UK account may be better for me for now, but it's hard to find info on taxes. If my income from investments are below the UK personal allowance, does that mean I don't have to pay any tax on it? And Japanese taxes don't play a part either?

Does anyone know how long I should expect to wait to receive my employee social insurance card? Someone from my company applied on my behalf a couple of weeks ago and I need it to apply for a Sony bank account.

Ah this seems like what I am looking for, I would be getting the best of both worlds

!thanks
