What is your status in Japan?

This checker is a free research tool for people living in Japan. It uses residence status, work, location, age, and household circumstances to organize public benefits, subsidies, services, classes, and other support worth checking.

A result is not an eligibility decision. Each program can have different residence, income, insurance, household, municipality, deadline, and document rules. Open the recorded source page on your result and confirm current details with the responsible office before applying.

Answers are used in this browser to narrow the catalog. No account or email address is required to start. Read the privacy explanation for data handling and About GaijinOS for source policy, limits, and maintenance.

Source pages may come from Japan's national ministries, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, or ward and city offices. Examples include the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare for employment and health guidance, the Ministry of Education for education programs, the Children and Families Agency for child support, and the Japan Pension Service for pension information. A source may be written in Japanese; the checker summarizes it in English but does not replace the original page.

GaijinDev maintains the catalog as a public-information project. If a condition, deadline, or link has changed, confirm it with the responsible office before relying on the result.
