FAQ
What is the 150 hours requirement?
Many Japanese language schools require students to have completed at least 150 hours of Japanese language study before applying for a student visa course. This requirement helps demonstrate a basic understanding of Japanese and supports the visa application process.
When are the application deadlines?
Application deadlines vary by intake (January, April, July, and October), and schools often recommend applying 6-8 months in advance.
Why does immigration require a 2,000,000 yen bank statement?
Immigration needs to confirm that you or your sponsor can financially support your stay in Japan. The 2,000,000 yen estimate covers tuition fees, accommodation, and monthly living expenses for the duration of your studies.
What level of education do I need?
The minimum requirement is a high school diploma, associate’s degree, or equivalent (such as a GED for homeschooled students). A bachelor’s degree is preferred.
Is there an age limit?
The minimum age is 18, and there is no official upper age limit for a student visa. However, individual schools may have their own age preferences, so it is worth checking with your chosen school.
