1. The first thing to do is to make an appointment as soon as possible after pregnancy. In Japan, the institution that can provide business consultation for maternity hospitals is the regional service office. Choosing a maternity hospital is generally based on the principle of "far away", and it is more convenient to choose a hospital near your residence.
2. Declare and receive the maternal and child health handbook. After pregnancy, pregnant women need to submit a pregnancy declaration form to the local service office where they live, and receive a maternal and child health manual. This guide must be properly kept. It is used to record the health status of pregnant women and children, and it is needed in the next pregnancy test, delivery and application for subsidies.
3, pregnant mother health check Japan's birth check is very personalized. In early pregnancy, pregnant mothers only need to go to designated hospitals for health examination. Doctors and midwives will take care of the health of mothers and children. In addition, there will be health care professionals and midwifery professionals to visit the home completely free of charge on time, specifically to guide pregnant women's home life and diet, and to appease their emotions.
In addition, pregnant mothers can also get 14 free prenatal examination vouchers, which will be handed over to the hospital outpatient department at the first prenatal examination. As for when to use it, the doctor will arrange it himself, which is very reassuring. Pregnant women can go home to give birth six weeks before labor, and they can also do simple work six weeks before labor, but they don't have to work overtime.
4. Apply for "one-time maternity allowance". As long as you join health insurance, you can get a maternity allowance of 420 thousand yen, but in Japan, the cost of giving birth to a child is about 500 thousand yen. This policy has greatly reduced the financial burden on families. This fee can be collected by pregnant women themselves or by the hospital outpatient department, and immediately used to offset some production costs.
5. Participate in the novice parents' study class. In Japan, novice parents don't have to worry too much at all, because the government departments are very considerate. Major hospitals and urban health centers have arranged training courses for prospective parents in pregnancy, childbirth and parenting. We can learn and communicate together, and lay a solid foundation for the future parenting life.
6. After the child is born, the woman can take parental leave. Generally, you don't need to work for 8 weeks after delivery. The father of the child can also take care of the newborn during the holidays. Before the child reaches the age of 1, both parents who have another child can enjoy this holiday. During the period of parental leave, you can apply for suspension of parental allowance, which is 67% of the salary before suspension in the first 6 months and 50% after 6 months.
7. A child whose birth is registered must submit a birth declaration to the administrative unit of his place of residence or the government department of his place of birth within 14 days after birth. In the future, children can receive the Children's Medical Certificate and receive active treatment completely free of charge. Then, if the parents join the universal medical insurance, the child can also apply for the baby's commercial insurance certificate, which can generally be handled from the parents' work unit before the baby's full moon physical examination.
8. Parenting allowance In addition to the above insurance, Japanese children can also receive "children's handiwork". From birth to junior high school graduation, government departments will give subsidies according to age and family economic situation. The collection period is June, 10 and February of each year, and the amount of one-time collection is 4 months. In addition, postpartum government staff will conduct on-site service visits and provide novice parents with specific guidance on how to choose pediatric hospitals, nurseries and kindergartens completely free of charge.
9. The Immigration Bureau handles the residence permit. Within 30 days after the baby is born, parents must go to the immigration office to guide the child to apply for the Residence Permit. Passport visas for newborns generally follow those of parents, and can be handled from embassies all over the world in Japan.
Just looking at pregnancy and child-rearing, the benefits enjoyed by business visa holders are exactly the same as those enjoyed by China residents. Not to mention all aspects! Japan, with such good welfare, can come whenever it wants.
