Services and Facilities
Students staying in Japan for more than a year are required to purchase NHI. For exchange students, who will not stay for more than a year, are not required, but strongly recommended to purchase NHI.
With NHI, approximately 70% of your medical expenses will be covered (Most hospitals in Japan accept NHI). To receive the insurance benefit, you are required to pay a monthly premium.
To join NHI, you must complete the necessary procedures at the NHI counter at your local city/ward office (in Japan). You will need to bring your Alien Registartion Card, which you must obtain as soon as you arrive in Japan.
To apply for a “College Student” status visa:
- For the necessary documents, visit: http://www.mofa.go.jp/j_info/visit/visa/long/visa6.html
- Follow the instructions in the website as well as any additional instructions provided by the local Japanese embassy/consulate in your country.
- Once you have received a “Certificate of Eligibility,” which will be sent to you by Keio, apply for a “College Student” status visa at the local Japanese embassy/consulate in your country.

As a general rule, CEMS students are responsible for finding a company for the international internship requirement (More than 10-consecutive weeks in a single company). If you wish to undertake an internship in Japan and if you are not Japanese passport holders, you will need to be keenly aware of the importance of meeting the Japanese government’s requirements regarding visas. For more information about visa, see the http://www.ic.keio.ac.jp/en/study/cems/exchange/visa.html
