Characteristics of a student visa
At Kansai International Airport, the arrival terminal differs depending on the airline, with some arriving at Terminal 1 and others at Terminal 2.
① Applying for and receiving a Residence Card: After submitting your Certificate of Eligibility, passport, and visa, a Residence Card will be issued at the airport. International students are issued a Residence Card because they will be staying in Japan for a medium to long term. While you do not need to carry your passport with you during your stay in Japan, you must always carry your Residence Card. Students on short-term stays do not have a Residence Card, so please carry your passport with you.
② Application for Permission to Engage in Activities Other Than Those Permitted by the Status of Residence Students who wish to work part-time can submit an application for permission to engage in activities other than those permitted by their status of residence to an immigration officer after receiving their residence card, and will then be able to engage in activities other than those permitted by their status of residence (part-time work).
*If you did not apply for permission at the airport, you can apply at the Kyoto Branch Office of the Osaka Regional Immigration Bureau.
Dormitory life begins
We will conduct an orientation, a placement test (class selection test), and confirm the schedule.
The following procedures will be followed.
① Transfer of Residence Procedure: You need to register your address at the counter of the city or ward office where you live.
The procedure must be completed within 14 days of entering the country.
② Procedure for Issuing a National Health Insurance Card: You will need to complete the procedure at the city or ward office where you live.
When you enroll in the National Health Insurance*, you will be issued a "National Health Insurance Card (hereinafter referred to as the insurance card)".
Open a bank account. You will need a bank account in various situations, such as when working part-time, extending your visa, transferring money with your home country, or receiving scholarships.
*When returning to Japan permanently, be sure to reduce your account balance to zero and close your account.
*Never entrust or lend your residence card, health insurance card, bank passbook, or bank ATM card to anyone. You must not give them to anyone for any reason. If they are misused by criminal organizations, you will become an accomplice and face severe punishment.
When looking for a job in Japan, you'll need your phone number. Furthermore, it's extremely useful because you'll be asked for your contact information for various procedures necessary for living in Japan.
School is finally starting. Let's all do our best together!
What is National Health Insurance?
When receiving medical treatment at a hospital or other medical facility, if you are enrolled in the National Health Insurance and present your insurance card, 70% of the treatment costs will be covered by insurance, and you will only have to pay 30% out of pocket. International students residing in Japan for more than three months are required to enroll in the National Health Insurance. This insurance only applies to the insured person.
*When you move, you will need to complete the change of address procedure along with the procedure to change your National Health Insurance.
*Please note that your health insurance card is a very important form of identification, just like your passport, residence card, or alien registration certificate.
