However, students may apply for the Special Payment System for Students (SPSS) to defer the payment of the premiums while they are in school.

(*1) Various types of schools: Only those who are enrolled in a course of study that lasts one year or longer are eligible (Private various types of schools are limited to those that have been approved by the prefectural governor.)

(*2) Japanese branch schools of some overseas universities: Only those who are enrolled in a Japanese branch of a foreign university in Japan and are taking a course that has been individually designated by the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology.
