First just to clarify I have a 2 year student visa but I just arrived in here around a month a half ago, from what I’ve heard you for banking purpouses you are classified as a “non resident” for the first six months if you don’t have japanese income (baito for example). My real state agent told me that I was going to get charged for rent on my yuucho account so I deposited the money like a week before golden week to avoid any issues, and yesterday I got a letter telling me that I should pay rent asap cuz I haven’t paid this month’s rent, and when I told my real state agent he told me to just go to the bank and do a money transfer, so earlier today I did, but they told me that I’m cosidered a non-resident so I would have to pay 7000 yen on fees and it will take some days to make the transfer, so my question is what can I do to get the money to the aparment managment office? How can I pay rent? The thing that the agent suggested was to do a transfer using an ATM but when I tried it asked me for my cash card and as soon as I put it in the atm rejected the transaction. So what are my options to pay this asap? Cuz I don’t want to have any issues down the line but I had no idea the rent was paid until yesterday when I got the message.
