Student Visa Japan

Japanese educational institutions, including universities, schools, and vocational institutions, accept the Japanese Student Visa as a sort of long-term visa.

A Japan Student Visa is required for anyone who wants to enrol in a Japanese educational institution.

The Japanese government maintains a policy that exempts nationals from needing a visa. However, the exemption only applies to transient activities like attending conferences, travelling, or conducting business. Even if you are visa-exempt and plan to visit Japan for a period longer than 90 days, you must still apply for a visa according to the nature of your trip.

Eligibility Student Visa Japan

• You must have a valid passport, bank statements from the previous six months, and at least two valid pictures. All of these should be scanned. Only documents scanned by the visa process system are eligible; if any are missing, the user should get them checked. After the documents have been checked, a special mark with a stamp is placed on each paper to indicate that the scanning process has been completed.
• If someone else is with you, you should have a return ticket. Both people must have a return ticket corresponding to their visa's expiration date; if they return after their visa has expired, they will be ineligible. You must then pay additional fees for visa updates depending on where you live and your visa type.
• People suffering from any medical condition should have a proper doctor's prescription with which they are willing to travel in between medications. All eligibility conditions must be met if people who are medically unfit or unable to travel are advised not to travel. They should have a doctor's prescription if such travel is required due to an emergency.
