Japan due-diligence risks: public-debt pressure, capital controls or transfer friction, governance and rule of law
The biggest mistake is treating a country score as personal advice. For Japan, verify current tax residency rules, capital-gains and dividend treatment, withholding tax, banking onboarding, source-of-funds documentation, brokerage availability, foreign-owner rules, crypto reporting, inheritance or wealth taxes where relevant, sanctions exposure if applicable, and double-tax-treaty effects. If an indicator is unavailable, treat that as a reason to check primary sources before acting.
