If you engage in activities that involve operating a business that generates income for up to 28 hours per week (up to 8 hours per day during long school holidays) or activities that receive remuneration, this is considered an activity other than that permitted under the status of residence previously granted (student). A comprehensive permit is required.

Resident Registration, National Health Insurance and National Pension System (The following links are guides for those moving into Mitaka city.）
All students have the obligation to join the National Health Insurance during their study at ICU. There are exceptions if either of the following conditions applies to you.
- In case you are currently under-employed by a Japanese company and are covered by the Social Insurance provided by the employer.
- In case you are a dependent of your parent(s) and the parent(s) are covered by the Social Insurance provided by the Japanese company.
If you are not sure if either of the above conditions applies to you, please confirm with your parent(s) before your departure to Japan.
It is mandatory to carry out the formalities of joining the National Health Insurance at the city or ward office of your residence in Japan unless either of the above applies to you.
In addition to enrolling in National Health Insurance, ICU recommends that students join “Personal Accident Insurance” which is an optional insurance. If you have signed any accident insurance policy which includes personal liability in your country, you do not need to purchase one in Japan.
