- credit card
Well, I certainly won't be in North Korea. I've only been to Seol once. The air was so bad, the city was in fog 24 hours all every day. The dirtiest air in the world.
Nomihodai. Only the alcohol is free. First lesson of my professor in Japan.
Is this valid for European's ?
Guys stick to the topic which is about "personal debit card" and not anything else. I already got annyoed by the mess in the thread here where sevral posts are off topic.
Thanks.
If anyone have links to personal credit cards where you can apply from any European country it would be nice, I noticed Revolut already, mentioned several times here, so AMEX but that's only possible through your bank!
I think the best choice for Amex Platinum in EUR is to open a company in Germany and use that card. The alternative is to tell them you are resident in a EEA country and get a card to an address there.
The problem with @nobel's quest if not getting the card. It is how to get it while only using an address in a place like San Marino that nobody wants to serve while believing that giving the banks an address elsewhere creates tax issues.
There are many younger nomads here that use addresses for banks in half a dozen counties as banks need it. At the same time the age the older "farts" as @Forester nicely calls them that try to avoid random countries getting CRS reports about people that haven't even set foot there yes a decade. I recently had such debate when @Martin Everson in another thread.
As already many banks file CRS reports to your citizenship country I personally think that they generally in nothing to worry about having some accounts in addresses you never lived (especially when never lived there). But in the end it is a matter of taste.
If you are worried, you can either be added as authorized user on somebody else's card, buy the dragon pass from their website or invest in a nice smile and ask a fellow passenger if you can join him to the lounge.
My post was trying to point out that the link points to Nomihodai, a Japanese expression meaning "all you can drink" as I was fooled into opening the page believing to find something useful too.

@JohnLocke Yes. The Japanese bars proposed by @cryptofriendly also serve foreigners like Europeans. Totally off topic, but all you can drink for 2 hours.

Well, it's a listing of bars with all-you-can-drink offers, and at these in the list you'll have some female company sitting next to you as well (and they aren't as old as the obachans at snackbars). Ok, next time I'll get you tabehodai and nomihodai, but the best I can do right now is Shakey's pizza 'Viking' (buffet) in Shibuya and Ikebukuro with tabehodai and nomihodai for 3 hours, the female company you'd have to pick up yourself at the station after.@JohnLocke Yes.

Ok, enough OT, and back to CC. It's difficult for non-residents to access those in JP, but there are options as the anonymous vanilla visa cards that one can purchase at 7-11, and Kyash is/was an easy option too https://www.kyash.co/products/card-lineup
For benefits like discounts and for residents only (and even then, it takes a year or two to actually get one as a resident gaijin), the easiest to get and best option for beginners is Rakuten CC Card (lots of benefits, points can be used to pay off the CC), most CC offer only 0.5-1% rewards. Amazon.jp offers a choice of cards as well, not too hard to get. Other easy options for residents are Aeon and ENEOS cards. Lastly Paypay, which is a cashless system which offered around 20% cashback in the beginning, and still offers 5% at some shops, is the most widespread system in JP, and is even more accepted than CCs.
nearly impossible. First getting ITIN is not so easy and secondly you need a year long credit history before able to get one
You can get a secured credit card without credit history and you can get an ITIN by just having a US LLC and making an agreement for the IRS.
No, not that long. Just took me a couple of months. If you need help, let me know.

Deleted more off-topic posts than I care to count. Also speculations about where forum members live is not something we want to see here.
The topic is personal credit cards. Let's focus on that.
