As soon as you have decided to return to your home country or move to another country, inform the International Affairs Division by e-mail of your new address, phone number, e-mail address, and the name of your new institution (e.g., university or company).
For Japanese government-scholarship students (regular students, research students, and Japanese studies students), a plane ticket for returning home is provided by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) on the condition that the student should return home by the end of the final month of their scholarship period. The International Affairs Division will confirm by e-mail whether or not you wish to apply for this arrangement. After confirmation, follow the necessary procedures as instructed.
Return your student ID and any other Japanese IDs before leaving Japan.
If you are a regular student, return your ID to the Student and Career Support Division. If you are a non-degree student, return your ID to the International Affairs Division. As plastic (IC) cards are recycled, please cooperate with recycling for next international students.
Check and return all items you have borrowed during your stay in Japan, including money, articles and supplies, and library books.
Contact the gas, electricity, water, telephone, Internet, and other contracted service providers.
Quite a few students forget to pay their final utility and other service fees, which are billed the following month after use. Make sure that you settle all fees and leave none unpaid.
Close and cancel all bank accounts and credit card contracts drawn up in Japan. However, if utility and other service fees are automatically withdrawn from your bank account, be sure to settle all outstanding payments before closing your bank account. In case you have to close your bank account before returning home, and expect any bills to arrive later, leave some money with a friend or acquaintance that you trust and ask them to pay your bills.
Give at least one month’s notice to your student housing office. Many students leave in March and September, so if you are leaving around this time, give your notice as soon as possible. Be sure to settle all dormitory fees and leave none unpaid when you leave.
When you have decided on a departure date, bring your National Health Insurance card to your local municipal office and settle any overpaid or underpaid premiums. (National Health Insurance premiums are calculated by monthly payments.) Note that you can arrange to be covered until the day of your departure (by changing the expiry date on your card to the date of your departure). For details, inquire with your local municipality office. You should also inform the municipal office that you want to withdraw from the National Pension Plan.
Thank and say goodbye to everyone who has helped you during your stay in Japan.
The best way is to visit each directly, but if your schedules don’t meet, it is a good idea to send a letter or postcard and express your appreciation after you leave Japan.
