Useful information
After arriving in Japan, there are many things that need to be done before officially enrolling at Shinjuku Japanese Language Institute. To assist you in the registration processes and lessen your stress, SNG has prepared the following links and information for your convenience.
Resident Registration, National Health Insurance, and National Pension
Students entering Japan with a student visa are required to carry their Residence Card at all times. Within 14 days of establishing their place of residence, they must complete Resident Registration, enroll in the National Health Insurance program, and either enroll in the National Pension system or apply for an exemption under the Special Payment System for Students. Residence Card procedures, Resident Registration, and National Health Insurance enrollment can all be completed at the ward office or city hall responsible for your place of residence. For further information, please contact your local ward office or city hall. Students entering Japan on a short-term visa are not eligible to enroll in the National Health Insurance program. Therefore, we strongly recommend obtaining travel insurance or another suitable insurance policy before coming to Japan to prepare for unexpected illness or accidents. Please note that failure to present your Residence Card or passport when requested may, under Japanese law, result in arrest or deportation.
