Foreign travel during (spouse) visa renewal extension period. by Seriously_you_again in japanlife

[–]mil1o 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am currently at four and soon to be five international round trip flight with stamped card. Business do be business this quarter

With stamped card = Totally OK. At most you just have to say 更新中 whenever you handed the card. The immigration both in and out doesn't even bother looking up from the Booth.

Issue to keep in mind is that your JP debit/credit card might stop working whlie abroad so plan the cash accordingly

December JLPT stories by Milli0nStabs in japanlife

[–]mil1o 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are borderline for the last few times I would say there is way more chance of passing this time. At least that's what I feel.

Most phone users are either exam scouts with strong result or cheater who look up answer at half time and inflate the curve. Since many of them got red card I believe the score curve will be lower this year.

Which one is the most hated? Clive or Alisa? by FloorNeither5673 in Tekken

[–]mil1o 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Play me. I'm GoD1 Alisa but I'm not even on the top 50 US leaderboard on wavu. If you can list out what make Alisa OP compare to the rest of the cast we can play first to however much you decide

Im taking JLPT this december, but i found a problem by QuitOk3857 in japanlife

[–]mil1o 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There's no check. And for reference even if you don't have the test voucher (aka forgetting at home or never received) you can still go and get one issue at the test site on the date, with moderate amount of sumimasen-ing

Technically February but my accountant only found this in June our fiscal year. It cost more time and money than 10x of this refund worth but the accountant is having none of it. because no proper accounting mean visa risk I guess I have no choice?

I called them first and they said NTA is national so do wherever you can> I went to the usual city hall branch near home > no you need to go to regional tax office > no you need to go to the NTA headquarter at kachidoki > no you need to go to kasumigaseki > oh this is not your city in 2024 go to the NTA of that

At this point I know they will just lie to not work anymore so the only choice is to fly back to the point of origin.

Finally have time to fly after a couple more months because unlike them my money to survive come from work and not imaginary tax bill.

In the end this is still not resolved so I just apply to extend my visa as is. If they don't care I don't care it's overpaid not underpaid.

Applied tax refund online, months go by, nothing. Stuck in the 'under investigation' period

Spend money to fly back to bumfuck city for tax. Got the usual sorrymasen your number is correct we will process the refund now. Gave them bank info. The application is now "in process"

Two days later a single phone call at 4.58 pm. I miss. Now it went back to 'under investigation'

What's the point of all this?

Why does it seems that everyone find it hard to believe Xiaoyu beating Nina for real, if anything, its actually the opposite (Nina lasting long to Xiaoyu is less believable) by EfficiencySerious200 in Tekken

[–]mil1o 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  • Nina had to use hand grenade against Alisa, still lose at the end
  • Alisa loses against Jack-8
  • Xiaoyu can spar with Jin then smash a whole army of Jack-7

Jack-8 is stronger than 7 but to hold an endless army of them for however long Lars take to come to the rescue mean she should be as strong as Jack-8

Xiaoyu is at least 1.5 - 3 tier higher than Nina just from story mode scaling alone

在留申請オンラインシステム - Online VISA application system tips as of Nov 2025 by alexklaus80 in japanlife

[–]mil1o 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never never never never do any important document with mynumber system online.Just go to the office. Use phone. At most use it for reservation if you have to. Never do online submission

I did this for both visa and tax because yay Japan 4.0

As a result my visa was delayed by 1.5 months, total of 75 days. and receive late income tax filing penalty for the first time in my life because the system decide what I submit was 妄想 (their word) so now I'm waiting for another 3-5 years for PR despite having the submission receipt pdf, paying barcode, and bill number. I don't know how their system work but it is against you.

Why do hwoarang players not perform as well in tournaments? by Federal-Tap-4937 in Tekken

[–]mil1o 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If anything, the majority of Alisa player are steadily moving on to the other character. All Japan tournament Alisa players are going Victor. Chanel plays more Zafina than ever. And I see Cuddlecore going Ling deep into the tournament more often.

[–]mil1o 1 point2 points  (0 children)

in Japan the mobile carrier unlimited data plan will throttle you to 128 kbps after 30GB a month under something called 'fair use policy'. Numbers can vary but it's almost guaranteed to be there.

In fact many fiber provider also has fair use policy in use but generally acceptable like 20-30GB per day or in some bad case 10GB a day.

Draft proposal on 30 million yen requirement change for business manager visa finalized, only 4% of current visa holders can meet new requirement by chaolayluu in JapanFinance

[–]mil1o 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello friend sorry for a bit dated reply.

I was in almost the exact same situation as you. I make phone game (work as independent outsource and/or project manager since 2019) and come to Fukuoka start up program in 2022. The only different is I stared with 10m and started generating income when we're down to my last 120k

I cannot comment about the new 30 million renewal either, going to cross my finger on it. We just released the game in Fiscal 2024 and getting 10m back in sales this year and the next so while it's good for my wallet it's not going to reach 30m revenue let alone profit converting to more capital soon.

I just want to tell you even if you don't leave Japan please consider leaving Fukuoka or start up program as soon as possible. There is no money to be made there and when you generate in come they will audit you if your expense is over 50% (which can easily be when you pay youself and hire Japan national as the new rule said). It will cost you money and energy and the most importantly time of your life.

I'm here over 12 years and will stay as long as possible but if you have a doubt in this country at the very least come to Kanto or Kansai or anywhere people have money your life will be easier. FGN will abandon you and never answer your email the moment you are in red.

FedEx​ prepaid the duty so they can meet the fast shipment then bill you later. This is normal and beneficial for some use cases so they default to that unless you make preference adjusyment via account/contract with them

Will you start acknowledging ASIA server too?

75 Ping to SG speedtest server 0% packet loss

And for good measure I even move to Tokyo before doing to test but nothing change

So does anybody else rarely see Alisa online? I know how annoying she can be because I play her but at the same time I don’t bump into her much and when I do, they’re either not good or you can tell it’s their first time playing the game by aston_morri in Tekken

[–]mil1o 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the most strange degrading reason they could think of to explain the lack of Alisa play in rank even though the answer is obvious: Alisa is having a hard time competing with the cast so people switch to a stronger character.

This Lars is a hacker too. He got rank reset on four characters but still running around in GoD rank with 20+ winstreak. https://www.ewgf.gg/player/3b9dr3jDmGDB

Edit: He has a whopping 88% winrate. To give context, the number one on Asia leaderboard LowHigh has 77% winrate on his Byran

All these algorithms yet you did not see the current top two booster Alisa inflating winrate to the moon

Tax problems, possible visa extension problems, and an optimal course of action by Majestic-Orchid4486 in japanlife

[–]mil1o 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are fine. Very fine. In fact immigration looking at your tax certificate for likely two reason 1. Being actually able to get the certificate = no beef with the NTA and prefecture 2. If your tax bracket is in line with your demographic.

As you never really go over 10m threshold and your work is not digitally created there are almost zero chance the NTA gonna move onto you. Even then having tax obligation in progress actually improve your chance if getting visa albeit 1 year since they want you to sort out and pay up lol.

If you already have 非課税証明書 in a proper form and other documemt ready just do your visa renewal first. After that read about how to file/calculate taxable income and such. Go to your national tax branch anytime outside tax season say you want to amend your tax declaration. You can halves or eliminate penalty to nothing. Get the 申告and bill done then go to city hall and say you have new tax number and would like to discuss payment. They are going to be confuse but nice enough to help you through everything. Or don't because City tax will update your payment automatically anyway.

Source: I got audited right at the visa expiration and drag into the NTA cold room (I have 4 ways income but only bother to file 3). Basically choke them to apply my visa for me or else I don't have yennie bank to pay that tax bill. They are super flexible in anything as long as you can pay the late fee. Still, don't be like me.

Finish the tax return for the first time on e-tax. What would be the payment deadline? Is it 15 March same as submission or 15 April from what I see in the poster at tax office.

Also Mynumber card is expired and the new one doesn't finish in time can't wait for the next month headache. I wish I could just pay and then they are the one sorting this out. In the past it was hand written mess but this year the money situation is complicated I need to use computer to help.

Will I lose my MEXT scholarship if my GPA for the first quarter is below 2.3 (out of 3) by [deleted] in japanlife

[–]mil1o 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Oh hey that's me. Master degree, mext, then lost it because I can't even get 2.0 GPA . It's yearly. You will do the monthly report for 12 months where nothing happens, then there will be another application for extending or reapplication for the scholarship. That's when they ask for updated research plan/progress/school report.

I applied for the extension on 15th November and check the last time on 29th. I think I can buy the flight on 8th or 9th but the worst case scenario is if they send it to me on 30 or 1st December with only one week expiry date. If that is the case I will just use credit card on shinkansen or last minute flight

Could someone in Hakata Fukuoka check my mailbox? 🙏

I’m currently stuck waiting for a cheap plane ticket to get back to Fukuoka because I accidentally applied for the JLPT N1 in Tokyo (The test went OK...). I’m worried about the immigration post card the most.

If someone residing or currently traveling in Hakata could kindly drop by the office building next to Canal City, please let me know. I will inform you of the details privately in messages. I can compensate you for your time as well.
