I currently hold US citizenship. To take care of my parents at home, I am an employee of an American company, but I am planning to move to Japan in the next year or so to work remotely for a few years.
So I have a few questions and would appreciate it if anyone knows anything about this. First, I am planning to cancel my health insurance through my company. ?

Is the income for joining the Japanese National Health Insurance based on the calculation that I have no income in Japan? ? If I use my income in the U.S. as a guide, the premiums may be high.

If anyone is familiar with this situation and would be willing to share links to information, I would appreciate it.

You are a dual citizen, aren't you?
Uninsured is a penalty in the U.S. $ The 700 changes every year, so I'm not certain of the amount, but you are obligated to pay it.

Insurance in Japan is not so expensive if you have no income, but maybe 16,000 yen plus nursing care insurance premiums.

Just take a look and you'll see what I mean.

As you said, I googled
Non-residents are not covered by Obamacare
But it's impossible to get medical care in the US if you get sick, so there's no point in having insurance

Whether you have citizenship or not, if you work in Japan as a Japanese, there's no way you have no income.

# not 3 ? I'm sorry to deny everything, but...

If you work in Japan as a Japanese citizen with citizenship,
you can't avoid filing taxes in Japan
and in the US because you are a US citizen.

↑ I always have trouble with you because you are always incapable of reading.

US citizens have obligations no matter where in the world they work.
I'm not talking about taxation, I'm talking about
what happens if an American citizen works in a foreign country.

I'm not talking about taxation, I'm talking about what happens to US citizens who work abroad. I'm talking about what happens to US citizens who work abroad.
what happened to the 70 year old drivers license renewal.
can you do it online ?
