On April 1, an awareness seminar was held at the Kansai University Bekka Program for 94 Bekka students, conducted by the Osaka Prefectural Police, Osaka Customs, and the Osaka Regional Immigration Services Bureau.

The Osaka Prefectural Police provided explanations, with concrete examples, about how lending one's residence card to others may lead to its misuse in crimes such as fraudulent mobile phone or credit card contracts and special fraud schemes.

They also offered important advice on how to avoid becoming involved in such criminal activities.

In addition, Osaka Customs gave guidance on the risks and legal consequences of bringing prohibited items, including illegal drugs, into Japan when entering the country.

The students listened attentively throughout the session and consolidated their awareness of the importance of following the guidance of relevant authorities in order to lead a safe and fulfilling student life in Japan.
