British - Living in Japan (Opening a trading account)

[adamu]

my wife's Japanese father is working for a multinational investment bank here in Japan

I wonder if you have access to any family-only investment benefits. Could be worth checking.

Are you living with your in laws, or is your wife's registered address still the same as theirs?

Because that rule you quote seems to only apply to family living in the same residence -> 同居する家族

Yes, we are living together. I really would like to start building a portfolio soon as possible. Not sure what route to take now that I'm unable to open trading accounts here.

Thank you. I will look into that. Opening an account with Monex is probably the best option...
