1) COVID-19 VACCINATION
HIF requires all students to submit a valid COVID-19 vaccination certificate of three doses of vaccines prescribed on the Emergency Use List of World Health Organization (WHO). HIF is approving limited exemptions to this requirement for medical or religious reasons.
2) VISA
It is your responsibility to visit the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan, to check whether you need to obtain a short-term stay visa to enter Japan or not. US citizens do not need a visa to enter Japan and study at HIF for two months (less than 90 days).
