How to open an account with the bank in Japan? -

I m a Japanese citizen and living in the U.S. Is it possible to open an account with the bank in Japan from here? Thanks!

If Mizuho or other major banks in Japan have a webpage, go look at it. Email customer service. If you hae a number, maybe you should try calling internationally. I believe CitiBank, a US bank, has branches in Japan. Maybe they can help you.

If you have Japanese driving license and the address still exist in Japan (as your parent s house), yes you can. Most bank have postal application form. Get it, fill the form and attach a copy of your driving license. Send it to your parent s house first, then let your parent post it in Japan. (if the stamp is from overseas, bank won t accept your form). Because Japanese financial law limit holding account for domestic residence only.

You will need someone to open the account for you. You can t do it from the US. Why don t you ask a member of your family to open an account for you, then they can send you the ATM or debit card.
