Accommodation/Visa/Airline Ticket/Health Insurance
Successful applicants must arrange the following under your own responsibility: accommodation, visa, airline tickets and insurance. There are instances where, depending on the university of your study-abroad destination, you may be required to register for a student insurance plan, or a medical insurance plan similar to the Japanese National Health Insurance. It may be possible to apply for an exemption by presenting a certificate of enrollment to a Japanese insurance plan, so it is recommended that you confirm whether an exemption is available or not. If the exemption is not permitted, please join both of the insurance plans.
