Leaving Japan with NISA
A pre-departure checklist; treatment depends on facts and provider procedures.
System rules
- Tax residency and statutory exceptions determine whether tax-free treatment can continue.
Provider features to verify
- Non-resident notification deadline and supported exception process
- Hold, sell or account-restriction treatment by asset
- Contact and tax-document access after departure
Steps
- Contact the provider before the move.
- Get Japan and destination-country tax advice when holdings are material.
- Save statements and update contact details.
Safety notes
- Do not assume a provider can serve non-residents or that NISA is tax-free abroad.
