You mean non-japanese applying in Japan. Japan, especially Tokyo is not an easy embassy to apply from. Fukuoka seems friendlier than Tokyo though. Easier to apply in SE Asia or nearby in Taipei.

Depends on your branch manager, speak to your bank. Some DTVERS have kept accounts open, it just depends on your bank.

@Duke *****
ok that used to be ok with just a final balance but recently some say 3 months seasoning is required now. You should double check, it is a good embassy to apply from anyway

ok, makes sense. My mate Chat GPT said similar, frequent short visits look better than an extended stay of 180 days..Reality though many stay 6 mths no probs.

Yes, some embassies require the 50OK to be seasoned for 3-6months, others are fine with a final balance of 500k with 3-Six-month of statements.

Which embassy are you applying from? Recent deposits are not acceptable with every embassy.

Never been asked in 5 reentries . There is someone who leaves and reenters weekly on the DTV and never been asked.

Bring copies of what you submitted, have your bank account ready to.show the 500K. You will most likely get questions to confirm/clarify what you have submitted. Where is your interview?
