Depens on how you've set yourself up - do you have an Australian company/ACN etc? Do you bring your earnings back to Australia? If you are you're an EXPORTER! (yet I somehow suspect you're not...) Give it a go! You could e-mail or call the Dept. in CBR. They're very helpful and forthcoming with info. In reality, the more people using the pass, the happier they are as the project is successful...

Gambatte!
When I first came to Japan I had an Australian company/ ACN, which helped with things like renting office space (World Trade Center etc). Now everything is registered in Japan, though this may change again later.

I did e-mail the Dept. yesterday and inquired, highlighting the golfing trade and investment side, while downplaying the prizemoney side. I'll post their response to this forum once received.

Gambarimasu!
