Please resgister for the Overseas Travel Application, which is a system to confirm your safety and provides advice to ensure your security during your stay abroad.
It is not necessary to notify the International Affairs Division after returning to Japan .
A re-entry permission is granted prior to departure by the Minister of Justice in order to simplify the immigration (entry and landing) procedures in cases where foreign nationals residing in Japan temporarily leave the country with the intention of re-entring. If you re-enter Japan within one year (also within the expiration date of your resident status) to continue the same activitity, "special re-entring permit" is applied and you will not be required for a "re-emtry permit."
If you are from a country that requires dependent visas, as a procedure for inviting your family in your home country to stay in Japan in a short term, you are required to submit the following documents to the Immigration Services Agency and receive a Certificate of Eligibility for Residence Status, which your family will need to receive a visa from the Japanese Embassy or consulate in their home country. However, family members permitted to stay in Japan are limited to your spouse and children.
If you become pregnant during your stay in Japan, please consult with the Ochanomizu University Health Care Center and your research supervisor to decide whether you would like to deliver the baby in Japan or in your home country, and whether or not you take a temporary leave of absence from studies.
If you decide to deliver your baby in Japan, follow necessary procedures as below.
After the childbirth, obtain a birth certificate issued by your doctor or midwife.
Necessary procedures:
（1）Birth Certificate
You are required to present a birth certificate and a Maternal and Child Health Handbook and register the birth on the Family Register with the municipal office of your residence within 14 days of childbirth. If you need to acquire status of residence for the child, apply for a certificate of receipt of birth registration after filing the birth registration.
（2）Acquisition of Status of Residence for the Child
Apply to the Immigration Services Agency for status of residence with documentation such as the birth certificate within 30 days of birth, if you plan to spend more than 60 days in Japan with your child after the childbirth. As required paperwork varies depending on the status of residence you are applying for, inquire with the Immigration Services Agency for details.
（3）National Health Insurance
If you wish to enroll your child in the Japan’s National Health Insurance (NHI) System, follow the procedure at the municipal office of your residence, along with the above procedures (1) and (2). Note that if you, the mother, are enrolled in the NHI, you are eligible to receive a childbirth lump-sum allowance. Apply for the allowance along with the procedure for enrolling in the National Health Insurance.
（4）Infant medical assistance
A subsidy system for medical care of babies and infants is available to partially cover medical bills at a medical institution. Inquire with the municipal office of your residence for details.
（5）Child support allowance
A child allowance is offered to mothers caring for children who have not yet finished junior high school education (aged 0 to 15 years old). Inquire with the municipal office of your residence for details.
