Frequently asked questions

Does LINEMO accept applicants with a residence card and no Japanese credit history?

Yes — LINEMO accepts residence-card holders (per official pages). A residence card is accepted as ID. That's a separate question from credit screening for the line contract itself: screening terms exist; see official page.

Can I pay LINEMO without a Japanese credit card?

Yes — LINEMO officially offers at least one non-credit-card payment method (bank transfer, debit, or convenience-store payment). See the payment table below for specifics.

Is eSIM available from LINEMO?

Yes, at least one LINEMO plan supports eSIM (see the table below for which).
