I work for an international organization as an international civil servant in the United States, but am a Japanese national. Am I eligible to buy and use the Japan Rail pass? I am not a green card holder, but have a UN passport and UN visa (G-4 visa for the United States). I (semi-)permanently live in the United States. I also have a Japanese passport and usually use the Japanese passport to enter Japan, although I can also use my UN passport to enter Japan.
Eligibility for Japanese UN passport (UNLP) holders
Hello there,
The JR rules are very strict on eligibility I'm afraid. As you are a Japanese National, you would need to qualify under those conditions rather than the conditions for foreign tourists. The eligibility for Japanese nationals is:
- who is qualified to live permanently in that country
- who is married to a non-Japanese residing in a country other than Japan
As you are not a fully permanent resident in the USA (eg, green card) then you will be ineligible unless you are married to a non-Japanese not living in Japan.
Hope this helps clear things up!
