Yes as per the article I'm luckily an outlier. :) But this is a very unfortunate situation especially in combination with the stopped sale of physical cards. I still have an old PASMO which I used for a commuter pass in 2016-2017 so I may be able to use this card when I visit Japan again next year. Well, unless these cards expire. Not sure about that.

Is it known whether this foreign-VISA situation is supposed to resolve and get fixed eventually? The article didn't mention whether the current situation is on purpose or an error. I fear that if this is on purpose it might actually get worse and other foreign cards eventually stop working as well.

>Not in Japan anymore otherwise I would have tried again.

I'm neither. Does this change anything? I could charge from home directly in ¥. But the card is from DKB so expected to work.
