Contact details of domectic resident
What is the “Contact details in Japan”?
When foreign nationals purchase real estate in Japan, a “domestic contact” has been added as a registration item. This is for receiving tax notices and correspondence from real estate management companies, and requires a person with an address in Japan.
Examples of people who can serve as domestic contact points
- Family and relatives (if they live in Japan)
- Friends and acquaintances (people you can trust)
- Your company (if the company allows it)
- Real estate companies (in some cases, we can accommodate your request after consulting with the real estate company)
If you do not have a domestic contact
If you do not have a suitable contact person in Japan, we can prepare a statement and apply for registration, so please let us know.
