Regarding Procedures for Entry into Japan
1.When the “authorization of resident eligibility” is issued, we will notify the applicant by either fax or by e-mail. As soon as the applicant receives the notification, please transfer one year’s worth of school expenses to the school’s designated bank account. Once the bank transfer is confirmed, the original “authorization of resident eligibility” will be sent to the student. The applicant shall apply to the Japanese embassy or consulate in his/her own country for a student visa using the “school acceptance form”, the “authorization of resident eligibility” and his/her “passport” while the “authorization of resident eligibility” is valid, and shall then receive his/her visa.
2.Based on individual circumstances, you may be asked to submit documents other than the above or to participate in an interview. Therefore, please check this information in advance and make the necessary preparations.
3.If you do not apply for landing at an airport, etc. in Japan within 3 months after the issuance of the "authorization of resident eligibility”, further procedures cannot be taken, so please mind this deadline.
4.If you enter Japan outside the term designated by the school, it may affect your classes, attendance rate or your permit for extension of the period of stay. Therefore, you must confirm your scheduled time of entrance into Japan with us. In addition, contact us immediately after entering Japan, and please come directly to the school.
Procedures after Entering to Japan
1．After you have come to Japan, you have to complete important procedures such as the registering your address in Japan, and joining the "national health insurance”,etc. Please be sure to consult with the school.
2．You are not allowed to work part-time to pay living costs. In addition, you have to gain permission from the Immigration Bureau of Japan to work part-time. If you take a part-time job without permission, not only you, but also your employer could be punished under the current laws. In order to avoid this situation, students who wish to work part-time should apply for part time job permission at the time of immigration at the arrival airport. Students who did not apply for part time job permission must consult with the school in all matters concerning employment.
