Immigration

You will receive immigration documents on the plane that you must complete prior to clearing customs and immigration at your port of entry. These will include a Disembarkation and Embarkation Card and Customs Declaration Card.

After you pass through immigration, pick up your luggage and proceed to Customs. When filling out your customs declaration, make certain that you accurately state the amount of dollars and other foreign currency (cash and travelers checks).  Your declaration will be examined and stamped by the customs agent. Students who do not have anything to declare may exit through the Green (“nothing to declare”) line.

All passengers will be required to be fingerprinted and have a photograph taken.

You will be asked to provide the address at which you are staying in Japan. Please make sure to have this information readily available with you. You may use director’s phone number as a part of the contact information:

3-10-2 Osawa, Mitaka-shi
Tokyo, Japan 181-8585
090-5307-8771

In the airport, you will receive an “entry card.”  You will need to go to the Mitaka City Hall to register your address. (This will be a part of our orientation.)  This guide will be useful: http://www.immi-moj.go.jp/newimmiact_1/pdf/language/007.pdf

Our director will be at Narita airport on the day of the arrival. Look for a Middlebury Banner at the Meeting Place (located in the center portion of each of the two Terminals).
