Contracting Organisations (your Board of Education, or Kencho) differ in their policies towards providing the return airfare for their returning JET participants. In order to be eligible to have your ticket (or no-questions-asked cash) provided, you must fulfill three conditions:
- Complete your JET contract period (up until the very last day)
- Be not entering a subsequent contract with your Contracting Organsiation, or a third party in Japan, within one month of the completion of your current contract.
- Return to your home country within one month of the completion of your contract.
IF YOU WISH TO TRAVEL IN JAPAN AFTER LEAVING JET, BEAR IN MIND THAT YOU MUST LEAVE THE COUNTRY WITHIN A MONTH (OR AT LEAST GIVE THIS IMPRESSION), OTHERWISE YOU WILL FOREFEIT YOUR RETURN AIRFARE PROVISION. (See also: Visas)
Remember to ask your supervisor well in advance about how your Contracting Organsiation will provide for your return airfare. If they decide to offer you cash, you will likely be responsible for purchasing your own ticket, and making your own travel arrangements. You may have to pay the initial deposit (and possibly the balance) from your own funds, to be reimbursed at a later date. The sooner you find out, the better chance your have of securing the flight you want at a good price.
Around June, your supervisor will provide you with a "JET Return Travel Itinerary" form, which you must complete and submit to your Contracting Organisation. For further information, please refer to the General Handbook.
