Resident Registration

Those who have received a resident card at a port of entry/departure are asked to visit the municipal office where they live with their resident card, and notify the Ministry of Justice where they live within 14 days of finding a place to settle down.
 

Ward offices

The list of where many of our students are living in. In some wards, there are branch offices. However, you need to visit the Ward offices to apply for the alien registration certificate. Also, some of the branch offices do not handle those services for Alien registrations, please make it sure before you visit there. 。



National Health Insurance

If you stay in Japan for more that 1 year you need to get National health insurance. Students who have no income in Japan can get a discount. National Health insurance does not cover dental work. National Health insurance covers 70% of the costs hospital visits and you need to pay the remaining 30% of the price.
You can apply for foreign registration and National health insurance at the same time. If you do not apply for foreign registration you can not get national health insurance. The price of national health insurance depends on the area you live, but generally it is ¥1.500 per a month.

*Student Insurance
Our school provides all students with student insurance. This covers injuries due to accidents (excluding existing illnesses you got in your own country)
Students pay for insurance. If something happens, the student pays the hospital fees and brings the receipt to school. The school will then refund the money to the student. Do not forget to get a receipt from the hospital.

Traffic
【Convenient transportation cards (PASMO・SUICA)】
PASMO and SUICA are convenient cards which you can use them not only at the subway ticket gates but the convenience stores and vending machines.
It will cost you ¥500 as a deposit but it can be refunded when you return it.

【When subway delayed (How to get a delay certificate)】
When the train is delayed from accidents and it makes you late for school, you need to get a delay certificate from the station. If you transfer trains on your way to the school, you need to get the delay certificate from the very line where the delay occurred.

【Bicycle】
When you buy a bicycle, you need to register a Bike registry. You can go to bicycle shops for Registration and Changing registered materials.

Part-time jobs

The purpose of ‘Student visa’ is for studying in Japan. Therefore to get a part-time job, you need to apply for a
‘permission to engage in activity other than that permitted under the status of residence previously granted’, so called ‘work permission’. You can go to the Immigration Bureau to apply for it but we can do it on behalf of you. You can work 28 hours a week.
※Necessary documents: Alien Registration Card, Passport
For more information, please have a look at the website of the Immigration Bureau.

There are telecommunications companies such as docomo, au by KDDI and SoftBank. Monthly minimum charge is approx ¥980 averagely. For further information, please have a look at the each site.

You can use a cellphone just buying a cellphone for pre-paid type and charge it. I dare say that it is the best decision for a short stay.
