Life after arriving at the site

Life after arriving at the site
Passed the exam and longed for overseas life!Studying abroad is full of excitement, such as listening to overseas concerts and performances of first-class orchestras, and enjoying the cityscape that is different from Japan.But before that!Check all the things you must do before and after your arrival!

1 Things to do before arriving at the site
● Government office procedures.Let's go through the procedures at the office where you currently have a resident card, such as notification of moving your resident card overseas, pension, municipal tax, and health insurance.You can continue to pay your pension while you are abroad.
● Financial preparation.Creating an international cash card (issued by a city bank, etc.) in Japan is very convenient because you can withdraw local currency from your Japanese account.
● Greetings to the people concerned.Study abroad only with the support of your family and friends.Don't forget to say hello to those around you.

2 What to do after arrival ● Contact your family.Please contact your family as soon as you arrive.My family is more worried than I think they have arrived safely.
● Notification of residence. If you are staying abroad for more than 3 months, submit a residence report to the Japanese embassy (consulate) in your country of stay.To confirm your safety in the event of something happening, submit a residence report by mail or fax immediately after arriving at the site.
● Overseas government office procedures.It depends on the country of stay, but especially if you are studying abroad in Europe, you will have to go through the procedures related to the government office, such as resident registration and application for a residence permit.There are various names such as the Alien Bureau and the Immigration Bureau, but you will go to the local government office or the police.As with any country, the procedure itself is not difficult as long as you have all the documents.However, keep in mind that you will have to wait for a very long time, the response will be unclear, and the response will be in a foreign language.In some countries, the period from arrival to registration is set within 3 days or 8 days after arrival, so it is recommended to enter the country shortly before school starts.Overseas, you are a <foreigner>.This is the first barrier, but if you forget the procedure, you will be illegally staying, so be careful when proceeding.
● Looking for a room.A house that is the basis of life.Be careful when looking for real estate to make your future stay safe and comfortable, and to avoid multiple unnecessary moves.Once you have decided on a candidate, let's actually check it with your own eyes in the morning and at night to see the surrounding atmosphere and whether it is possible to make sounds.In addition, the apartment rental contract requires language skills to read the contract.If you are worried about your language, take measures to avoid loss, such as arranging an interpreter.
● Piano rental and purchase.Securing a practice environment is a very important issue.Pianos can be rented or purchased locally.Although it is possible to transport from books, it is safer to procure locally because there are concerns about time, money, damage to musical instruments during transportation, and changes in sound quality.If there are people who have just finished studying abroad and are returning to Japan, it is possible to take over from those people.
