2-1．Students Entering Japan on a Non-Japanese Passport

Your ‘Certificate of Eligibility’ (CoE), the document required for visa procedures, and ‘Letter of Admission’ will be sent to you from the Student Exchange Division via email in early August. Once you have received the Certificate, promptly take the screenshot or a printout of the document, and any other relevant documentation, to the nearest Japanese diplomatic mission in order to apply for a ‘student ’ visa. To avoid any connection trouble, it is highly recommended that you take a printed copy of the CoE with you.

Please be sure to obtain your 'student' visa prior to arriving in Japan. Any request to acquire a 'student' visa after entering Japan is likely to be rejected by the Immigration Services Agency.

As part of landing procedures in Japan, you will be required to submit your fingerprints and facial photograph at immigration control. Also, when you receive your residence card at the airport, please check whether the spelling and spacing of your name are correct.

2-3．Visit Japan Web Service
