Question about proof of savings (permanent residency application)

So I have an old 82 Bank account which I still use to get my salary. However, I put all of my savings into my Shinsei account. I’m wondering if I would need to provide both a copy off my 82 bankbook as well as proof of my current amount in my Shinsei account, or if just the latter would be okay?

I ask because there I have a part-time job that I (to my own fault) haven’t claimed (which goes into my 82 bank account), and I feel this could potentially cause a few questions (it’s generally something I just do one or two afternoons a month though, and the amount isn’t particularly high – though can go over the 20,000 yen allowed amount). It just shows up as 給与 though (as my main salary does) and doesn’t go into specifcs.

Thanks!

  1. Two rules:

    – Never lie to immigration

    – Never volunteer more information than you were asked for

    You were asked for “proof of savings”, not “history of all your bank accounts”. You know what to do.
