Student Visa
The student visa allows people to enroll in a private or public educational institute among Japanese language schools, universities and vocational schools.
The status of residence will be ‘Student’, and you will, consequently, be granted a part time work permit up to 28hrs per week. The period of stay of a student visa ranges from 1 year to 2 years maximum from the date of entry in Japan. In order to get a student visa, the school will complete all the paper work to allow you to enter and live in Japan!
