Insurance

01: Introduction

All JET participants are covered with four types of insurance. Three of these are compulsory insurances set by the Japanese government. The fourth type is a special private policy for JET Programme participants.

 

Public insurances, compulsory according to the Japanese Law:

(1) National Health Insurance

(2) Pension Insurance

(3) Employment Insurance

Private Insurance (for JET participants only):

(4) JET Programme Accident Insurance

 

 

CLAIR strongly recommends that you thoroughly read the insurance policy information available and that you maintain health insurance in your home country, as these insurances may not cover you fully in all situations.
