＊The procedures from/to overseas transferring consume time. We appreciate if you walk in to the office no later than 16:00 on weekdays, or sometimes the procedures could be incomplete.
從國外遷入的手續需要時間。因為臨近結束的時候來的話有不能辦理手續的可能性,所以工作日的話,請在16點左右來。

＊We don’t close the window on break time, (between Noon - 14:00), although it will take longer as we work with few employees than regular hour.
中午到下午2點(午休)也有受理,但是因為人數很少,所以多少會花一些時間。

＊When we are dealing with overseas transfers, we will have to search the residential cyber for your previous/current status. Since residential cyber “Juki Net” can only be operated between 9:00-17:00, on weekdays, if you come to Ward Office on Saturday, the response will be confirmed on the following business day. Therefore, although we can print the new address in the resident card, we cannot issue the copy of the resident certificate.
在接受國外遷入時,必須檢索住民基本登記冊簿聯網系統。住民基本登記冊簿聯網系統只能從週一到週五上午9點到下午5點檢索,所以週六確認第二天開門。因此,在留卡上可以記載新地址,但是不能發行住民票的複印件。

・居民卡在留卡
・護照
・申報書(在港北區政府準備的。)

＊When soliciting a resident certificate, there is a fee of 300 yen per each certificate. (Get the revenue stamp of the corresponded fee at the blue vending machine.)
取得住民票的話,一封需要300日圓的手續費。

Those who have registered as a resident should join to National Health Insurance (Mandatory: if staying in Japan for 3 months or more.)
辦理了居民登記手續的人,除了幾個例外,必須加入國民健康保險。

It is an insurance system to lighten the burden of medical expenses.
這是為了減輕醫療費負擔的保險制度。

It is necessary to have the insurance premiums paid depending on the period of submission. If you present the insurance card at the hospital/clinic reception, you will be charged 30% of medical expenses, instead of full amount. (If you do not join to the insurance, you will be responsible for full medical expense costs.)
根據加入的期間,需要支付保險費,但是在醫院出示保險證的話,醫療費的負擔是3成。(不加入保險的話,醫院將全額負擔醫療費。)
