Students who want to study in Japan need to prepare their visa application carefully. What materials should they prepare for the application?
How long should I leave it?
Here are the application materials and processing time for the Japanese student visa.
In recent years, high school students and undergraduates are more likely to study in Japan, especially high school students (including students from three schools), who are required to submit the elementary Japanese Language Proficiency certificate.
Many students think that the Japanese language schools themselves teach Japanese and do not pay attention to the elementary certificate of Japanese language.
It should be noted that junior Japanese is a requirement for admission to the administration, while non-language schools may refuse visas to high school students (including students from three schools) who have no Japanese ability at all.
Therefore, it is usually recommended that students take the E.F level examination and obtain at least an F level in order to secure their visa application.
The School reason book is the main way for the Japan Entry Administration to understand the motivation of students to study in Japan, so the writing of the school reason book is also very important.
Main highlights: why choose to go to Japan to study abroad, what study abroad plan, the future choice after graduation and so on.
The full text is written in Japanese, in order to avoid low-level mistakes, it is best to ask a professional material teacher to do it.
Certificate of Fund Deposit for studying in Japan, you usually need to submit a certificate of fund deposit of RMB 200,000.
It should be noted that the bank issuing the certificate is the best big bank, such as Bank of China, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Construction Bank, etc., do not issue it in small local banks, cooperatives, post offices, so as not to be recognized.
Usually, the freezing time is 3-6 months. The freezing time should not expire when submitting, otherwise it will be deemed invalid.
Other relevant certificates in the handling of other notarization, certificates should also pay attention to the time, the general entry bureau only recognized in the last three months issued valid certificates, more than three months are regarded as invalid.
Therefore, the proof material had better be opened according to the time needs, and the proof should be issued to avoid Saturday and Sunday, so as to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.
Duration of validity of Japanese visas: In principle, transit and tourist visas are 4 months, except diplomatic and service passports;
Other visas are for 6 months.
Valid entry times, in principle, only once, re-entry must apply for a new visa.
In exceptional cases, two or more valid visas may be granted if confirmed as necessary.
Japanese student visa is valid for 12 months, students should apply for a new visa in advance before the expiration date, so that they can study and live in Japan normally.
If you want to continue studying in Japan for the first time after your stay expires, you must apply for a renewal permit during your stay.
The application must be made before the period of stay expires.
Application for “renewal of permit during stay” is processed at the local Entry Administration.
1. Family financial ability Nowadays, the family financial ability of applicants to study abroad is paid more attention.
All kinds of certificates issued by the relevant public agencies to prove the financial ability of the payer are strictly examined.
Applicants with household registration in the “six provinces and cities” (Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Guangdong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang) still have a higher visa approval rate than applicants from local provinces and cities.
Therefore, it is recommended that the applicants, especially those whose household registration is outside the six provinces or cities, should conform to the general knowledge of the relevant economic strength of the fund payer, especially take full account of the overall level of local economic development, and be practical and realistic.
If the general principle or common sense is violated, the applicant may not get a visa even if he/she has a high degree and language level.
The family’s ability to pay has always been the “focus” of visa review.
2. Language Proficiency In the past, applicants who applied to study in Japan, especially in language schools, were usually required to have 150-200 Japanese study hours before going to Japan.
However, in recent years, there have been many cases in which the Japanese study time certificate issued by the applicants is not consistent with their actual Japanese ability. In addition, some domestic language training institutions are driven by interests, and the phenomenon of false study time certificate is frequent, and the credibility has been lost.
In view of the above situation, the Japanese visa audit has strengthened this aspect.
From the analysis of the overall situation of visa in recent years, in addition to the certificate of study hours, Japanese applicants may be explicitly required to submit the corresponding test certificate issued by the Japanese language proficiency testing agency.
In addition to the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JPT), the test (TOEIC) will be more widely adopted.
Compared with the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JPT), the test time is more convenient for students to choose.
3. Authenticity of application materials A Japanese visa is generally divided into two parts: you must first obtain a Certificate of Qualification for Staying in Japan issued by the Entry Administration Bureau of the Ministry of Justice of Japan (hereinafter referred to as “staying in Japan”), and only the applicant who has stayed in Japan is eligible to submit the final visa application to the embassies and consulates.
According to the usual practice, due to the limitations of manpower and capital of the Japanese Entry Management Bureau, written examination is mainly conducted in the review stage, and most of them do not conduct telephone survey.
Investigations of the applicants themselves or the payers of the applicants’ funds are generally conducted by the embassies and consulates.
However, this year, Japan has strengthened the examination in this aspect in the first review stage. Some regional entry bureaus have invested a large amount of money to hire a large number of translators to directly investigate applicants or fund payers from Japan.
Therefore, I would like to remind applicants not to take any chances. Submitting the application materials in accordance with their own reality is the guarantee of successful visa acquisition.
