We (American & Japanese) decided to get married this week towards the end of my 90-day temporary stay. Immigration officer advised us to apply to change my residence status to spouse of Japanese national.
What happens to the tax-free items I purchased at the beginning of my stay? Would I have to pay back the 10% consumption taxes for those items? Assuming once my visa is approved I will be obligated to file and pay taxes in Japan.
We will going to Indonesia next week (for 20-30 days) and I will be bringing the purchased items with me.
If you have had a similar experience, would you care to share?
Appreciate your feedback!
