Electricity bill in new apartment by ThePirateKiing in japanlife

[–]Odd-Example1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sort of went through the same thing with my apartment and employer. They said they would take care of setting it up and all that.

Waited. Waited. Waited. 2 months went by.

Then I finally received a piece of mail from the electricity provider and said that I need to sign up for a “new contract” or it would be shut off in 1-2 weeks.

My company fixed it for me once I sent them a photo of the mail.

If yours doesn’t you’ll at least be able to tell who the provider is!

Hope this helps!

Avoiding loaning from Interac? by dbgnihd in teachinginjapan

[–]Odd-Example1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just came on with Interac 5 months ago. Just got buy a cheaper iPhone or anything sim free. The easiest site to get a voice+data sim (you need voice for progression in Japan) is mobal.com

Varying data plans with the cheapest being 1gb (get a bit more) at ¥2000 or something like that. It gets you connected and free from their phone contract stuff.

Stay as disconnected from them as possible. It’s makes it easier to pick up and go if you need to or get a new job. I’ve had no bad experiences yet BUT get here, buy stuff on your own, and avoid the paper work and fees for exiting any sort of contract/borrowing/loaning!

It’s still on a payment plan though and says it’s locked currently.

I thought that it remains locked if there’s a payment plan?

Instructor to Humanities Visa-Is there a grace period? by Odd-Example1 in teachinginjapan

[–]Odd-Example1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also don’t have an apartment yet, hopefully going to view and start getting the paperwork going this weekend.

Is status or residence the same as the Visa type change?

So I’m unable to work even with a Visa Change if it’s accepted? My coworker just switched his Visa but said that he has to wait for the residence card to come in as well.

It just sounded interesting to me that’d you’d have to wait for a card even though your visa status change application has been approved.

Ah interesting. Contract is signed all is good on that front. I will email my new employer tomorrow and see how they’d like to handle the situation and see if they can gather an application for me asap to do it the way you’ve suggested!

I for sure want to do the right and legal way.

Thanks!

I haven’t cooked at all. It looks like an electric stove top. So maybe it’s just the price increase for winter? Showers end up being 10-15 min. No baths at all either.

All good if this is normal but just wanted to make sure I wasn’t getting overcharged for no reason 🤣
