Welcome to VIVAVIDA!

VIVAVIDA! is Health and Medical Insurance for Foreigners in Japan. In order for foreigners to enjoy safe and comfortable life in Japan, we provide plans of medical security, life security, and emergency security with reasonable cost.

A life insurance plan that covers up to 5 million yen for death due to accident and up to 3 million yen for death due to illness. Medical Insurance covers 100%(up to 1.6 million yen) of actual medical fees for illness and injury including hospitalization with an affordable premium. It also has an Emergency Plan which covers the cost to call a family from the home country in an emergency situation. It also covers the cost to treat or transport the dead body.

Japan offers numerous public health insurance plans through its National Health Insurance, Social Insurance and other systems, however those plans are often combined with pension plans and nursing insurance policies which they will not be able to receive as they will not be staying permanently, and moreover, are too expensive for people who are temporarily residing in Japan. Therefore, the reality is, not many non-Japanese are enrolled in these public health insurance plans. In the circumstances, VIVAVIDA! is willing to play the role of safety net for healthcare for foreigners living in Japan. We would like to ask foreigners living in Japan to understand that medical expenses are usually very costly in this country, that certain economic resources are needed to continue living in Japan, and that the utilization and support of a health insurance is a reasonable safeguard. We hope you will consider our insurance policy as a measure of precaution for a secure and comfortable stay here in Japan.

VIVAVIDA! gives support services in Japanese, English, Portuguese, Spanish, and Chinese. Please feel free to contact us now. (Free dial 0120-656-684, SoftBank mobile phone 080-4058-7485)
