Planning to move with spouse (Japanese national) later this summer, around July/August depending on when the CoE gets issued.
Can spouse set up a bank account in advance?
As I understand it, a juminhyo is required to set up an account in Japan (correct me if I'm wrong). Spouse is going to temporarily visit a parent (who lives in Japan) for a week or two in June. Can spouse make a bank account using parent's address to register for a juminhyo, return to U.S., and keep the bank account?
Spouse would need to register for a new juminhyo at our future residence.
