I'll will be coming to Japan in two weeks for my 5 months exchange programme in Tokyo, and i just saw that there's a new app called Welcome suica, for the suica card but i'm doubtful about what to do.
As it lasts 180 days, it would cover my semester in japan so it would be great, but can I have it if I have a student visa? or is it only for non resident-visitors?
Moreover I have seen a lot of discussion about it, is it really useful to have on your phone or is it better to have the physical one?
Should i buy one at the airport and then connect it to the app? Or just put in on apple wallet?
Thank you if you reply 🙏
