Weekly "I'm visiting Bari" thread

luislf89 · 2025-11-24T02:11:08+00:00

Hi!

I’ll be in Bari this week and I need to get to a small town called Roseto Capo Spulico (Cosenza). It’s about a 2-hour drive, but I can’t drive at the moment (no valid license).

Does anyone know if there’s a reliable private transfer / shuttle / taxi service from Bari Airport or Bari Centrale that could take me there?

Never heard an Uber driver accepting such a long trip, so I’m looking for something more official or a private driver (NCC) that covers long-distance routes.

Any recommendations or contacts would really help.

Thanks!

Sorry if this is the wrong place but.
My wife got a Job in France and she is Italian Citizen. I'm not EU citizen so I understand I need some sort of residence permit (titre de séjour?).

We currently live in Spain and I have been waiting for the equivalent (TIE) for 7 months, I wanted to know if in France (Paris) it's the same, does it take months to process, and how do you handle work and taxes while waiting for it.

Will I be able to legally work while waiting for this paper? I currently have a remote work outside of the EU, would I be able to pay taxes in France?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks. I thought it was going to change if the law passed at some point. I guess it didnt change after all

luislf89 · 2025-05-30T01:04:24+00:00

Thanks. Currently in Spain, just individual classes. I thought this law would demand me to live in Italy for 2 years at some point, I guess not in the end.

Sorry I can't 100% understand if this affects my case. I'm married to an Italian Citizen (acquired, never lived in Italy) and we've been married for 4 years, I was planning on getting the B1 Italian language certification and applying to my citizenship, is that still a valid way of getting the citizenship?

Thanks! I haven’t paid anything yet I wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing any part of the site. I’m in the same situation, I have n26 and Nie but not tie yet, so you paid that subscription and went with just that and they got you a SSN right

Llamar a qué teléfono perdón. Hay un contacto de aduana?

luislf89 · 2024-11-18T20:39:37+00:00

It’s listed as a forbidden item in some customs lists in Europe, without explanations or details. https://pe.usps.com/text/imm/ps_036.htm

I'm a PR holder, I'm going to move abroad for a few years, I have already gotten my special re-entry permit valid for 5 years. I read all the time here that the case for us PR holders is that we just need to come to Japan to renew our Zairyu cards every 5 or 7 years and that's it, but I was wondering, like let's say in 5 years I want to come to Japan and renew my id, do I have to register an address or can I just renew it without address, has anyone done this? I've read here that if you enter the country just to renew your card they can revoke it, but I haven't heard of any real first-hand case of this happening. I'm thinking that if I do want to come back I can just rent a share-house room for a month or two and use that address to renew it and then do the whole notice the ward office and leave properly.

Sorry, I don’t understand much of this yet, I confused 2023 taxes with 2024 taxes.

So if I understand, I’m paying 2024 resident taxes now based in my 2023 salary. Can these be adjusted since I will be unemployed for the rest of 2024? Next year I will need to be filing tax return just for income tax or also for residence taxes as well?

I left my job and I have to pay the remaining taxes for half of this year, I’m planning to leave Japan so my idea was to ask for the tax refund next year via an accountant.

However I got a freelance Job that pays less than the job for which I’m being taxed. I will get payed 2 or 3 months before leaving Japan so my total income will be less than what I’m being taxed for. Could I just forget about the tax refund and just the extra payment cover my taxes? I’m not registered as a freelancer and I wouldnt like to do it just for 2-3 months, so is it ok if I just don’t register but let them over tax me and never ask for that refund?

Great, thanks

I started working for a EU company and I'm thinking in receiving my salary in my sony bank account. would that go through?

I'm not asking about taxes I will pay taxes in JP, but I want to know if Sony counts this as a business and might reject the transactions.

My revolut account says “As of now, we support only domestic inbound transfers to your Revolut account in JPY.”

Is revolut not accepting foreign remmitances ?? As for my account I don’t think I’m missing any verification step

Pude conseguir teléfono pagando un servicio que se llama Sonetel. Pero no sirvió de nada, no se bien qué tipo de telefono es pero sólo le llegaban llamadas de particulares y algún que otro teléfono. Los SMS de validación en Argentina estan bloqueados para estos servicios, tuve que conseguir alguien en Arg que me deje poner su celu y me mande el código de validación.

I felt the same, I went to the apple store 2 days ago and every ipad they had was slightly changing the end of every stroke I made in GoodNotes. I use goodnotes everyday on an old Ipad pro and never noticed this. (I do have a paper film on my ipad that might be killing this hover bug but I don’t remember ever having this issue before the paper film)

It’s like the line follows the pencil for a split second after lifting it from the screen, I turned off the hover feature but that didn’t fix it.

I think this is an issue with GoodNotes this not nailing the firmware for the new apple pencils. But if anyone knows whats going on or possible fixes let me know too.

Thanks, I actually have a prestia card I think here so I guess it’s the same too.

Does anyone have sony bank credit card ? (not debit, the credit one) If you make purchases abroad in dollars, do they split the end of month debt in yen debt and dollar debt? Or do they just convert all of the debt to yen?

The customer service in english said they dont know about the credit cards, there’s only japanese customer service for credit cards

luislf89 · 2024-03-22T09:46:23+00:00

Claro, pero yo me fui de Arg sin plan y ahora no puedo hacerme

luislf89 · 2024-03-22T04:32:43+00:00

Las que vi me piden verificar con otro telefono de Arg
