For details on the login procedure and interface of “My Page”, please click on the links below.

  • Login for the first time
  • Forgot your password?
  • My Page screen structure

When using Bank Check, please be sure to also read the precautions listed on the following page.


C. Direct payment from your institution

If you pay your membership fee to JASID from your institution directly, please note the following points before proceeding.

  • Members who wish to pay your membership fee from your institutions must notify the following two items to the headquarters office in advance.
    – Name of the payee (your institution’s name)
    – Expected date of payment
  • Please write either [member’s name] or [member’s 6-digit number] in the name of the payee or in the correspondence box. (We receive many deposits for which the subject is unknown. And the reconciliation process is taking an inordinate amount of time!)
  • Please pay the transfer fee.
  • Remittances to Japan Post Bank are not immediately reflected on your “My page”. It takes 1-2 weeks for the deposit information to be reflected on your “My page”.

D. Pay by postal transfer

Those who are not able to use the online payment system on “My Page” can continue to pay to the Japan Post Bank account. Please read the following and follow the procedure according to the payment method that suits you best.

Please note that using “Bank Check” for account transfers is more economical in the following respects.

  • A Resona Bank account number is issued for each invoice, and a record of the payment is kept on the member’s My Page when the payment is completed.
  • The payment fee is borne by the association.
  • Receipts can be issued immediately.

For this reason, members who make transfers from their own accounts or ATMs are encouraged to use Bank Check.

Q: Paying multi-year membership fees

If you have two years of unpaid membership fees, you will need to complete the payment process for each invoice when you make your membership fee payment on your My Page.

In “the Invoice / Payment Info” several invoices are listed, starting with the newest invoice.

For this reason, just settling the first invoice does not mean that the full amount has been paid, so please ensure that there are no unpaid invoices remaining after settlement.

Q: I’m Going Back Home Country

A: Even if you live in abroad, you can now continue to be active in various membership activities via the Internet.

Member Benefits

However, depending on your location, postal conditions may make it difficult for us to deliver paper copies of the journal. For this reason, when you move abroad, you may take the following procedures depending on your situation.


Stop Sending Postal Mail

All information provided by the academic societies can be obtained via the Internet. The JASID journal can also be viewed on our website or on J-stage.

J-stage
The Journal of International Development Studies (in Japanese)

Due to the unstable postal situation, we request that members residing overseas either stop sending postal mail or set up a domestic mailing address.

Please use the form below to notify us of any changes to your address.

Confirmation of Payment Method of Membership Fee

Even if you live overseas, you can pay your membership fee by credit card on your “My Page”. If you have selected bank check, we ask that you change your payment method to credit card.

You can also send money from your account in Japan to the JASID’s Japan Post Bank account. For members who do not have overseas payment methods, please contact the JASID Secretariat.


Using Recess System

The recess system will be available beginning in fiscal year 2023. This system is available only to members who not have unpaid membership fees.

Please contact the JASID Secretariat for details.

Q: Is there a system to suspend membership?




Q: Cautions for payment of dues via bank check

Two methods of payment are available on “My Page”: credit card payment and online banking payment by bank check.

However, bank checks are only available in Japan and cannot accept money transfers from overseas.

For this reason, if you have selected bank check as your payment method when creating your invoice, please send money from overseas to JASID’s Japan Post Bank account, not to the bank check account number.

Please refer to the following page for instructions on how to send money to the Japan Post Bank account.

Q: My Institution will Pay My Membership Fee Directly

A:

If you do not wish to make online payment from your “My Page” due to payment by your institution, please refer to the URL below and send the money to the Japan Post Bank account of JASID.

Payment Information

Note

  • Please make sure that the name of the member or membership number can be recognized from the name of the payee and the remarks column.
  • Please pay the bank transfer fee.
  • If you wish to make a transfer to the Japan Post Bank account from a different name than the member’s name (e.g., affiliated institution), please contact the Secretariat to inform us of the expected date of payment.
  • It takes about one week for the payment data to be reflected in the member’s page after the payment is made to Japan Post Bank (money transfer to Japan Post Bank is not immediately reflected in the member’s page).



Q: I forgot to pay my annual membership fee

Answer

For credit card payments

Payment can be made even if the due date on the invoice has passed.

For bank checks payments

If you have already been issued with a dedicated payee account number, you will not be able to use bank check payments if the account number has expired (within two weeks).

If the expiry date has passed, please transfer the fees to the Society’s Japan Post account (a transfer fee will be charged).

なお、2年間会費の支払いが滞りますと強制退会処分(除名)となります。払い忘れのないよう、くれぐれもご注意ください。

また、退会手続きの具体的な手順は、会員マイページのお知らせ欄にてご案内しております。会員マイページをご覧ください。

退会後の未払会費の取扱について

退会者のなかには「自分はしばらく学会の活動に参加していなかったのだから、未納分の会費は支払う必要がない」と、数年間にわたる学会費を滞納したまま退会される会員がいます。

しかし、学会はその間も学会誌や各種のお知らせの発送など、会員サービスを継続して提供してまいりました。

これには費用が発生しており、他の学会員よりお預かりした学会費から費用を捻出してご提供してきたものです。

このため、退会時には未納分の学会費を必ずご清算していただきますようお願いいたします。

なお、退会された後であっても未納会費に対する学会の請求権は存続いたします。
