Long-Term Care Insurance

Long-term care insurance is a social healthcare system, which provides nursing care service at 10-30% of the original cost for individuals who are certified to need caring.
Foreign residents who meet the following conditions are insured under long-term care insurance and are expected to pay the corresponding insurance premium.

Those insured under Long-Term Care Insurance must (be):

1. 65 years of age or older
2. Subject to the Basic Resident Registration Law
3. Have been living in Japan legally for more than 3 months (if the period of stay on your visa is 3 months or less, you will not be insured until you can provide documents to the Elderly Care Division (Korei Kaigo-ka) that prove you will be here for longer)
