So I moved back to my home country from Japan around 11 years ago, and left my SMBC account there untouched. In that time, I’ve been doing a little remote work here and there more as a favor to my old employer than anything else, and money has been transferred into that account about every month until about 5 months ago. I’m now about to visit Japan again, and am wondering if I can access my account if I go back to the bank directly. I haven’t even kept up on the balance or anything because I never needed it.
I have my old bank book, hanko, expired cash card/credit cards, etc., but I’m afraid they won’t let me touch the account because I no longer live in Japan, and obviously don’t have anything to prove my residence since I left. Now I’m kinda freaking out. How screwed am I?
