Roy Berman writes:  ”According to the Ministry of Justice website, starting April 1, 2010, anyone extending their Japanese visa or changing their residency status will be required to show a valid health insurance card/booklet. The relevant portions are below.

平成22(2010)年4月1日以降申請時に窓口において保険証の提示を求めることとしています。 

8. 社会保険に加入していること
社会保険への加入義務がある場合には,当該義務を履行していることが必要です。
なお,平成22(2010)年4月1日以降は,申請の際に窓口で健康保険証の提示を求めることとなります。”
