Matters needing attention in national insurance for Japanese students.
International students who have studied abroad for more than one year can join the Japanese national health insurance system and enjoy medical insurance as long as they are registered as foreigners when they enter Japan.
Procedures for handling and paying national health insurance for international students:
Students need to apply at the relevant window of the local municipal service office. I need to provide my card, seal and other identification when applying.
After going through the formalities of joining the national health insurance, the municipal service office will mail the payment book to the students, just taking the monthly payment slip to the bank to pay. If you think it is complicated to go to the bank, you can also use the bank account to make automatic transfer payment.
Precautions:
1. In addition to this kind of health insurance, the school will also help students to participate in other insurances and take the medical bills to the classes of the school students. If it passes the examination, part of the expenses can be reimbursed. Therefore, we should pay more attention to relevant information after entering school and join the insurance provided by the school in time.
2. International students also need to provide national health insurance certificates when applying for scholarships and tuition remission, so they must pay attention to keeping their national health insurance certificates.
If you want to apply for permanent residence or naturalization in Japan in the future, you must pay attention to paying the insurance premium on time, which is an important aspect to measure whether the applicant is kind.
After using the national health insurance, international students can also reduce their medical expenses again through the medical expenses subsidy system for international students. For international students who have studied in Japan for less than one year, although they cannot join the national health insurance, they can be guaranteed by the medical subsidy system for international students, and they can apply once a month through their schools.
