Savings in Japanese account and Permanent Residency

I’m considering transfering some money back home, though I am wondering if I should wait until I have applied to PR to do so? I figured it might be good to show savings in-country rather than out – or perhaps this doesn’t matter.

That is all. Thank you.

  1. They just care about the money in local banks as far as I remember, so I would keep it for a while.

  2. We (me and my wife) are applying for Permanent Residency now. They didnt ask for our local bank savings but rather the tax certificate to check for our Annual Salary.

  3. You only need to show local bank savings if you’re not employed, or employed for less than 6 months.

    If you’re employed for 6 months our more, 在職証明書 is enough

  4. I applied for PR and on advice of my husband, I put about 1 million yen in savings in my local bank account here. He said it looks bad if I only have savings overseas. Like I have no long term plan to stay here.
