Saitama University has established the “Guaranty System for Hospitalization” as part of its support for international students. Under this system, Saitama University will take on the role of a guarantor when an international student studying at Saitama University is hospitalized due to illness or injury while enrolled at Saitama University and needs a guarantor.

  To use this system, you must have both of the following insurances in addition to the “National Health Insurance”. Since it is not possible to purchase the insurances after being hospitalized, Saitama University, in principle, requires all international students to purchase them in case of emergency.

・Personal Accident Insurance for Students Pursuing Education and Research　(“Gakkensai”)
・Comprehensive Insurance for Students Lives coupled with “Gakkensai” (“Inbound Futai-gakuso”)

  Only those who have already purchased “Gakkensai” can purchase the “Inbound Futai-gakuso”. If you have not purchased “Gakkensai”, please contact the Student Services Division for details on the procedure.
  To purchase the “Inbound Futai-gakuso”, please read the attached brochure carefully and follow the prescribed payment procedures.

 If you wish to use “Guaranty System for Hospitalization”, please prepare the following documents and submit them together with other required documents to the office of International Affairs.
