Just as I finished setting up JNISAs for all my kids, and NISAs, IDECOs what have you for the wife and I, all linked to our Japanese bank accounts, automated fund transfer to investment accounts, and re-allocating funds with a touch of a button every month, an opportunity to work overseas has surfaced. I will bring my family with me. I don’t think it’s permanent and we believe Japan would still be our home in the future (3-4 years down the road).
I will definitely try to keep my PR (other family members are Japanese citizens), but how would moving out for a couple of years affect our investment accounts and bank accounts? Will we be able to keep them, access them from overseas and essentially function as usual or are these only available for residents? Or will we have to close/suspend them?
Bonus question: We will be moving to the US (not US citizens). Seeing as how (rightly) allergic Japanese financial institutions are wth US taxes, how would this affect our accounts?
