Use of the autosend service is limited to customers residing in Japan.
Customers who are not ""non-residents"" residing overseas and who can submit identification documents showing an address in Japan and documents related to a valid personal number (My Number) can use the service.
Our required standard for non-Japanese residents is to have an address in Japan (resident) as defined by the Income Tax Act. In the Income Tax Act, a ""non-resident"" is defined as anyone other than a ""resident,"" and a ""resident"" is defined as any of the following
- An individual who has an address in Japan or has had a residence in Japan for one year or more continuously up to the present.
- An individual who is a resident, does not have Japanese nationality, and has had an address or residence in Japan for a total of five years or less within the past ten years. In addition, whether a customer is a ""resident"" or a ""non-resident"" is determined by tax treaties with the country in which the customer resides and adjustments with local laws.
Please note that we also refer to foreign exchange-related laws and regulations, such as the Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Act, and notices when confirming whether a person is a ""resident"" or a ""non-resident.""
