Simple steps to your Japan dream
Select a Japanese language school or university. We help you choose from our 100+ partner institutions based on your goals, budget, and location preferences.
Gather all required documents including educational certificates, financial proof, passport copies, and application forms. Our team provides a comprehensive checklist and reviews your documents.
Submit your application to the chosen institution. The school will review your application and forward it to the immigration bureau if approved.
The school applies for your Certificate of Eligibility (COE) from the Immigration Bureau. This is the most critical step in the process.
Once approved, the COE is issued and sent to the school, who then forwards it to you. This is your authorization to apply for the actual visa.
With the COE in hand, apply for the student visa at the Japanese Embassy or Consulate in your country. Submit the COE, passport, photos, and application form.
Collect your passport with the student visa stamp. Book your flight and prepare for departure. We provide pre-departure orientation and support.
