Student
Visa:
Foreigners who wish to study in Japan will be required to apply for
a student visa which is valid for one year. Applying for a student visa
is similar to the working visa application process, as applicants will
be required to obtain sponsorship from a university who in turn will
supply them with a certificate of eligibility. Students are not permitted
to work while in Japan unless granted permission from immigration and
the university they are attending, and are allowed to work only a set
maximum number of hours per week.
