Is it possible to still make a mistake in wiring money from Citibank Japan?
My husband been sending money to my US account for the 5th time already. This month was a delay. He told me that he had a bank account number mistake. So, Citibank has to track the wire to a wrong account and return it to his account and that is the time to transfer to my bank account. He do the telephone banking. Like he calls everytime he sends money. I thought that there is an imput of name and bank account whenever you send money especially many times or is it possible that everytime he calls citibank employee, he has to give my account number again? Hope there is an answer or any experience of wrong account number from you guys. I need an answer if this is possible especially CITIBANk JAPAN. Thanks much. ANA

Yes it is possible to send money to the wrong account in Citibank. I have an International account with them and although, so far, I have never made a mistake with the numbers, they always warn you to double check before you submit the exchange as it can take a long time to correct if you get it wrong. Be carefull. Steve

Yes, it is..in many cases.... I reviewed your question so far, you mentioned he calls everytime he do the banking...as most of the staffs is not a native speaker of English, might there be a misunderstanding or hard hearing the correct number your husband gave.. but as he gave your name it would be track down for there might be more than one name like your name so they would asked to give your account number... Just to remind you, there are many staffs working on Citibank and misunderstanding always happen as even we showed in person we always find a lot of errors from bank transactions. I agree Western Union does good even it charge more because it is fast and safe for one hour just give the name of the person you are sending the money.. hope this helps! good day!

How can our school make money for Japan?
How can our school make money for Japan?
I want our school to raise money for Japan, but I don't know what to do. I was going to have all the kids bring in stuff that they didn't use, and have like a "School Garage Sale" and sell everything for like $2.00. But then I realized, I don't know if it would work because a lot of people might not want to buy bad things. Any other ideas that our school can do? P.S. Our school has a bake sale like every week for a different cause, so I want something new. :) Thanks Also, what are your thoughts on my idea? Do you think it will work?

Can I make money vlogging in Japan?
Can I make money vlogging in Japan?
I'm going to Japan when I graduate from college. I plan to stay there as long as possible (until get deported or forever if i can get citizenship), but I'm still learning to speak Japanese and I can barely write/read Japanese. I know I won't be able to get a real job because of my bad Japanese so I was thinking of doing a daily vlog and posting it on youtube. I know all the popular vloggers make a 6 figure income, but is it possible for me to make enough money to live just starting out as a vlogger?

If you are not Japanese looking there is a very high chance of police officers asking you for your ID (either your passport or your alien registration card). If you're there illegally (past 90 days straight on a tourist visa and without a different visa) you will be deported and barred from the country for a long period of time. That aside, it will be very tough but never give up on your dreams :)

depends on many things. Just like here it will depend on the school district. In the south bronx you make 30,000 year, in westchester makes 70K+, Also besides the differences in public schools salaries there are different types of schools in Japan. As I assume you are a westerner, you may be interested in working at a private language institute. These are not really schools and most people working there are not really teachers. It is what it is and i won't knock it too much. The pay here is decent for asia, 1,800 to 2,500 USD per month at a guess. In a large city like tokyo, the money will just get you by. Small one bedroom or studio, some pocket money and that's about it. It's some of the best money in Asia but also the highest cost of living. Last I heard South Korea paid foriegn teachers the best in asia followed by japan. Thailand is 900$ month for foriegners and they are the bottom so, japan has to be at least 1,500. You can check daves esl cafe for exact opportunities. From my understanding, Japanese teachers make about the same or more than us foriegners. In some countries we get paid a lot compared to locals but I think in Japan we're about even if not treated as inferior.

Carl, you are misinformed... With a student visa, you can only work 28 hours a week. The visa will not allow you to work your first two months, so I tutor highschool students under the radar. I'm currently enrolled in a Japanese language school in Akihabara, I'm living in an apartment with 3 other people, and my rent is about 500$ a month. With my tutoring job, I pull in about 300yen/hr. Now I'm also working in a butler cafe, which pays really well. I just gotta make the customers feel like a princess. So you can definitely make enough to support yourself, and go to a university, as long as its not 早稲田. Oh, and I'm only 17, so If I can do it, you can do it.

So, Bren, you pull in 300 yen/hr. Hope that was a typo or I don't know how you are getting by. Carl was spot-on with the law. Under the radar? That can work. Take Bren's figure of 300 yen/hr and see how many hours you would have to work to pay about $20K/year for college and see if you have enough time to attend classes and study too. Up it to 3000 yen/hr, take a guess at how many student you can get and do the same calculations. And speaking Japanese isn't really that much of a plus point if you want to teach English. If you want to teach English you shouldn't be speaking Japanese in class.
6 :
First of all, there are many English native speakers who want to teach English in Japan. You have to be a VERY exellent teacher if you want to earn a lot of money by doing that. AND you need to know how to teach English. Speaking English and teaching it are two different things. No offense,but you seem to play down the problem. Japan is not native Enlish speakers' heaven.

No. You are making good money where you are living, but that does not translate to the same thing if you were living in Japan. Before you can live as a permanent resident in Japan, you have to prove that: 1) You can function in Japanese society; i.e. speak the language 2) You will not be a drain on the welfare program; i.e. educated with a college degree and have a job. 3) You have no criminal record.

a study visa has some pretty strict restrictions to what kind of work/how much work you can do.
2 :
Please understand that foreign exchange student is not someone who can earn money. If you want to earn, you have to graduate from school and find a job. It's not realistic to think that you can be an architect in Japan. It's difficult even for Japanese to become an architect. You must pass architect exam which is very hard. But if you become, you can earn enough. If you just want to have (decent apartment, enough food, water, and maybe some other luxuries like internet and phone.), it's enough even if you are working as English teacher. What's really expensive in Japan is education of children. So if you want to marry and have children in Japan, you must have better jobs.
If I were to be a foreign exchange student to Japan from the United States, would I be able to obtain enough money in that line of work to live comfortably? (decent apartment, enough food, water, and maybe some other luxuries like internet and phone.)

a study visa has some pretty strict restrictions to what kind of work/how much work you can do.

Please understand that foreign exchange student is not someone who can earn money. If you want to earn, you have to graduate from school and find a job. It's not realistic to think that you can be an architect in Japan. It's difficult even for Japanese to become an architect. You must pass architect exam which is very hard. But if you become, you can earn enough.

Some "modeling agencies" are in the business of charging big money for creating portfolios but promises to find work for models are not real. Their business is really only making money on portfolios- a kind of scam.

The only way to know is to go. If they ask you for money for a portfolio, then walk out. A legitimate agency shouldn't be producing your portfolio or requiring you to use one specific photographer. They also don't do a portfolio until AFTER you have signed a contract. A legitimate agency should give you a list of recommended photographers and you are free to use the one of your choice

I do not have a numerical data, however maybe No in average, because the rate of part-timer in women is more than in men and women get time with their children rather than money. The Japanese prekindergarten for infants ( ~age2 or 3) are very expensive and always full. In the most case, one of the couple has to take care of their children. It causes to resign for women. Add them, the stagnation of economy make it difficult to get job again in this 10 years or more.

Would getting a transfer to Japan for a job make me more money than getting a job directly in Japan?
Would I be able to make more money by getting a job here in Canada and possibly getting a transfer, or would I make more by getting a job directly in Japan? Or does it even matter? Please don't tell me how I need a visa or anything like that. Just answer my question with a little detail. Please don't get sidetracked! Thank you.

In short, yes a transfer is better for more reasons than pay. I was transferred from my office in the USA to Japan. I was given support for finding a house, setting up my bank account, and establishing residency. I was assigned a person from a company that specializes in expat relocation. Also, in terms of pay, my US based pay was adjusted to reflect the change in taxes, cost of living and Holiday benefits. For transfer purposes, I was given 2 months extra pay, one on the US side and another extra month when I arrived in Japan to cover the numerous un expected moving costs. The company also, arranged for all of my belongings to be shipped by sea and air. They arranged all the taxes and import procedures.
2 :
Definitely a transfer job by a mile. Forget the visa hassle -- I've never heard of a company that transfers an employee overseas and not do the visa and paperwork for them For the same kinds of work, a Japanese hire is paid less than someone sent to work in Japan on an oversea assignment. As a transferee, you get several bonus from living cost adjustments, tax advantages, housing support, and even in some cases per diem on top of your salary. If you get an opportunity, don't pass it up and this does not apply only to work in Japan. Jobs abroad to any country is a big bonus. The only possible negative is that if you have children and wanted to enroll them in certain schools for ex-pats. Depending on where you want them enrolled, it could get expensive.
3 :
A transfer is much better. Getting a job on your own there would require a four year degree. You would also need a job offer before you got there. Outside of teaching English and high tech jobs, there is little available for Canadians.

That would depend upon Japanese law, a subject of which I have no knowledge whatsoever. However, one guideline is pretty much universal: The higher the rate of return, the higher the risk involved.
3 :
Sure it's legal. However (and this is important), your return on investment must take into account BOTH the interest on the investment and the exchange rate between the two countries. If you are in Japan and want to invest in the US, you first have to exchange yen for dollars at the current exchange rate, then invest the dollars. Eventually, you will have to convert the dollars (principal and interest) back into yen at whatever the exchange rate is at the time you convert back. You would earn the higher interest rate, but you could either lose or make money on the exchange of currencies.

4 :
What do you call a lot? If a lot = $100k then yes especially when you consider the housing subsidy given to athletes and translators/tutors. Now I haven’t heard of anyone making $500 or $600k in hoops over there like China has kicked out to a few players (mostly to bring notoriety to their league), but it’s not impossible (although unlikely). The big $ for U.S. athletes and coaches are in baseball. Ignore Shelton & Kent! The Yen is paying north of 80 for $1, but don’t think you can take $10 over to Tokyo and live it big. That city makes Manhattan look like a cheap place to live and the other major cities (where pro teams are) don’t exactly give you big time relief as a move from NYC to Memphis. Remember Japan is the second largest (soon to be third largest) economy in the world with nowhere near our population.
