But, think about if the credit company think that a foreigner cannot
be a reliable payer because he can leave Japan at any time without
paying his bills. In fact, I've heard a lot of cases like that. 
Someone gets the credit card in a foreign country and spend all
he can and then leave. Unfortunately, this is true, but I think
the credit companies could create mechanisms to avoid such kind
of fraud  requiring a guarantor, etc.

I was gratified to be able to answer promptly, and I did.  I said I
didn't know.
