Obtaining the “Student” Residence Status

International students whose admission to the university has been approved can obtain the “Student” residence status. To do so, students living outside Japan should prepare the necessary documents to apply for a “Certificate of Eligibility for Resident Status.” After that, the university will submit a proxy application to the Tokyo Regional Immigration Bureau on the student's behalf. Please enter Japan after receiving the “Certificate of Eligibility for Resident Status” and obtaining a visa at the consular division of the Japanese Embassy in your home country. In addition to university staff, applications can be made by the applicant's relatives who reside in Japan or guarantors in Japan.
