Q-3 Is there a difference between applying online and applying by mail?

In principle, the content of your application and the required documents are the same, but if you apply online, some of the required documents may be omitted.
Please see (Required Documents) for more details.
In addition, if you apply online, you will be contacted if there are any errors in the documents or application details you submitted, and you will be notified of the submission deadline. You can also check and resubmit your application on your My Page, which allows for quicker review and payment procedures compared to applications submitted by post.
We recommend applying online unless it is unavoidable.

Q-4 My child is living in a dormitory at his/her school. Is this eligible?

Children are eligible if they live in a dormitory designated by their school. You will need a dormitory certificate issued by your school, so please contact the office for details.
