AnyPASS for foreigners: overseas phone number, device and ticket receipt
Use AnyPASS with an overseas phone number by matching the registered number to the ticket application, checking device requirements, and planning for phone changes before ticket issue.
Short answer
AnyPASS officially says registration with an overseas phone number is possible and verifies it with the country code. The important constraint is ticket receipt: except when using an AnyPASS linkage code, a ticket can normally be received only on the device using the mobile phone number, including country code, that was registered when applying for the ticket.
An overseas phone number can be registered
AnyPASS states that overseas numbers are supported for registration and that authentication is performed using the number including the country code. This means a Japanese phone number is not a universal requirement for creating an AnyPASS account.
The purchase phone number and the receiving device still need to line up
The AnyPASS FAQ warns that ticket receipt is tied to the mobile number registered at application, including the country code, unless the ticket is delivered using an AnyPASS linkage code. Check the ticket seller’s exact delivery instructions before purchasing.
Device changes and broken phones need the official transfer procedure
AnyPASS publishes a device-change process and says a phone-number change requires support contact. Do not uninstall, swap numbers or rely on a new device immediately before an event without confirming how the ticket will be restored.
