CREDIT CARD IN JAPAN FOR FOREIGNERS
Which credit card are easy to apply for foreigners in Japan? The following is a list of recommended credit cards based on the issuer’s policy and the difficulty of passing the screening process.
Requirements for foreign nationals to apply a credit card
Applying a credit card for a foreign national is not an easy task.
Almost all card application forms do not have a nationality field.
The screening process uses your name, driver’s license, and registration card to determine that you are a foreigner.
If you are a special permanent resident and use a name that is written in Japanese, there will be no problem.
If you are a foreign national and self-employed, the length of time you have been in business is also an issue.
【Certificate】
A copy of both sides of your alien registration card.
Bank account (number) in your name, personal seal, and cell phone (number).
【Residence period in Japan】
Regardless of the type of residence in Japan, the longer the period of residence, the better.
【Stable income】
Naturally, the applicant must have a stable income. It is preferable that he or she works for a company located in Japan.
【Credit history】
If you have a track record of installment purchases of cell phones, cell phones, home appliances, etc., you will probably have an advantage in the credit card application process.
I recommend distribution credit cards.
Distribution companies have an absolute mission to increase customers and sales.
I think they are trying to widen the gap because they want more people to become cardholders and store at their stores.
Tips to Apply Japanese Credit Card
Uppercase letter Street address in the Application form
Capitalize the address on the Japanese application form.

DEPOSIT TYPE CREDIT CARD JAPAN
Deposit-type credit cards are recommended for those who just can’t pass the admission screening.
A deposit-type credit card is a non-debt card that allows you to make a deposit and shop on credit within the limits of that deposit.
The deposit ranges from 50,000 yen to 2,000,000 yen (in increments of 100,000 yen)
The deposit is transferred to the designated bank account after the card arrives. If you wish to increase the amount available, simply increase this deposit (in increments of 10,000 yen).
Points are awarded for shopping and can be exchanged for electronic money and other items.
