Hi there! I'm seeking advice on a large-ish (between 3-3.5 million yen withdrawal. My visa is tabled right now so i'm not bothering with Japanese bank accounts rn. If it makes any difference I'm basically a house wife, I am not working in Japan. Anywho, I may be needing to at some point withdraw around 3.5 million yen, and I don't trust myself to just haul it around or even leave it in my apartment as I come from an American mindset and worry too much 😅 Any advice for this large withdrawal of yen? It's not practical to use my USD cards for this really.
Update; I was overthinking this entirely too much and I should expect to wire transfer & I'll stop worrying and just go about my normal daily business with my Schwab card and normal amounts of cash. The large purchase will be wired. I'm not sure why I got so in my head about this. Thank you all for being kind.
(And no thank you to the person who said this could only be for tax evasion purposes)
