    Immigration Process

    About「resident status」and「period of stay」

    The following information includes visa types, as well as their duration.
    Japan's immigration control procedures are managed by the "Immigration Control and Refugee Recognition Act". To evaluate what kind of impacts foreign resident's activities have on Japan's society, as well as to properly manage foreign residents in Japan, the immigration authority should not only manage foreign resident's entry into the country, but also administer their status of residence into 29 categories. In the situation that you enroll into our school as a one year or one and a half year student, you will be granted resident status in Japan as a student. Also, In the situation that you enroll into our school either as a short-term auditing student, or a short-term studies student, you will be given resident status in Japan as a temporary visitor.

    Here at our school, we have 1 year, 1.5 years, 1.75 years and 2 years courses.Students enrolling into each course will receive a 1 year and 3 months student visa (University Preparatory Course students will receive a 1year and 3 months or 2 years student visa ). If your visa expires during the study period, you will have to renew your visa while you are enrolled in our school.

    Application & Admission Process

    Once you arrive in Japan, you will proceed to your living quarters. Available methods of transportation include traveling by train or shuttle. Traveling by shuttle will take you to places within close proximity of your home, and is also very convenient for people bearing a lot of heavy luggage. However, bus transportation is more costly than traveling by train, and after arriving, you may be required to travel by train to the train station nearest your home (as shuttle buses do not necessarily stop at every station). Shuttle transportation tickets require a reservation, and you will need to purchase them at the bus transportation counter at the airport. Please note that the airports are both rather far from our school and where you will be living, so please avoid traveling by means of taxi, as it will become extremely expensive.
