Success Story : 2024-26

To apply for a Student Visa, you must first be accepted by a Japanese language school or vocational/university. Key requirements include:

• Valid passport.

• Completed visa application form.

• Admission letter from the educational institution.

• Proof of financial support to cover tuition and living expenses.

• Academic background documents (transcripts, certificates).

• Certificate of Eligibility (COE) issued by immigration in Japan.

• Technical Intern Training Visa: Aims to transfer skills to developing countries. It has strict limits on job changes and a maximum stay of 5 years.

• Specified Skilled Worker (SSW) Visa: Designed to address labor shortages. It offers more flexibility to change employers within the same sector and a path to long-term residency.

Yes, but with restrictions. Students are permitted to work up to 28 hours per week during academic sessions and up to 8 hours per day during designated school holidays. You must apply for “Permission to Engage in Activity Other Than That Permitted by the Status of Residence” before starting any job.

This depends on your visa status.

• Student Visa: Generally, dependent visas are not allowed.

• Worker Visas (e.g., Engineer/Specialist in Humanities, SSW): If you meet a certain income threshold, you may sponsor your spouse and children under a “Dependent” visa.
