Could I get a visa to go to school in Japan? How would I go about doing that?
I'm just curious. Is there such thing as a student visa in japan? I know that if I were to live there, I'd have to have a job, but while in school, I probably wouldn't be able to keep a job, since most of my time would be spent studying. If there IS such a thing as a Japanese student visa, how would I go about applying for one? Oh, and any general tips about being in Japan are welcome. If I were to bring my miniature dachshund with me, where would the best place to stay be?

Try going to studyabroad.com, or studyabroad.com as well as goabroad.com. They will answer all of you questions. You can also Google universities in Japan and each schools website will give you international student information. As far as your dog, i would check out each states website regarding pets, quarantine, etc. Good luck.

See website below to begin your research on applying for a student visa to Japan.

You can only get a student visa once you have been accepted to a school in Japan. So, you have to apply to a Japanese school (college or high school, depending on which you are in), and then you will apply for your student visa through the Japanese embassy in your country. If you have not been accepted to a Japanese school, then you cannot get a student visa.

hi, If you are intending to study more than a few weeks/months in Japan, you should ask for a student visa. There are several types (pre-college, college...), but they are generally valid for one year. They are expensive as you must pay the school fee for a full year in a recognized establishment. The college visa entitle you to work part-time (up to twenty hours per week). You must get a re-entry visa if you leave the country and come back, otherwise you lose your visa. Student visa holder can only buy a single re-entry visa (3000yen), which means they have to get a new one every time they exit the country.

To get a Japanese visa, you must 1. Get fully accepted into the school you are seeking to go to. then 2. The school should send you registration for visa information. Things needed for a visa are proof of finances (this one is MAJOR, they will not be kind to those that show no proof of how they will fund their living/studies), proof you got into the Japanese school, your high school diploma (no lie they want that thing), color photocopy of first page in passport, fill out the general form that they send (and it must be printed neatly and show no signs of correction e.g. pencil erasing, white-out), proof of insurance, and other things. Visa applications require a buttload of paperwork. To work in japan under a student visa, sadly I have been told you are limited on the hours of work you can do, I think it was between 12 -20 hours a week (eek!). But overall the school you are seeking to go to should be able to assist you with the visa process (i mean its part of their job !) I dunno about the dog thing, you're gonna have to ask the consulate about that. There may require paperwork for the lil guy too. Good luck!

1 :
It depends on how short you mean. Some schools are instructing its students not to make their skirts too short. But girls roll up their skirt around their waist to make it shorter when they get out of schools.
2 :
Based on the girls I see around my town, they're certainly doing it when they're not in school. Whether or not they're technically allowed to do it is another matter entirely.
3 :
they're already short enough.
4 :
It really depends on the school. A lot of schools in Japan are starting to get a lot stricter and are enforcing rules about the length of skirts.
5 :
Well a lot of school are trying to make them stop and have length restrictions but most girls still do anyway. They usually wear those slouchy socks with the skirts too even though they technically are not allowed by some schools. For a lot of Japanese teenagers, your uniform is big part of their wardrobe which they wear even outside school so they want to make it as fashionable as possible! But in schools where they are stricter, many girls only roll them up at the waist when school's over and let them down again during the day.
6 :
School regulation of uniformly skirt length from knee cap may vary one by one but girls always don't care. They just know how to tack it upper ultimately after school for playing around anyway.
7 :
Is it 'allowed'? No, they are supposed to, and say supposed to, wear them as designed. But there have been cases of increasing the height of the skirt for a LONG time. My wife is 47 and she said when she was in school, many of the girls, including her, would just pull up the waistband to shorten the skirt. See a teacher, yank it back down. I guess a question that could be asked is how strictly do the schools enforce this rule. I'll ask my daughter, who goes to the same school as her mother, how students are wearing their uniforms, (if I remember) and get back to you.

If you are 14, you would go to a junior high school in Japan. Junior high school is compulsory. So everyone can go without any qualification. If you moved, just go to the nearest junior high school (with your parents, of course!) then apply for it. Or you should go to the local government office at first. Then you can tell the guys that you want to to go to a junior high school and they will tell you how to.
2 :
That would make you 2nd or 3rd grade in junior high. Until the end of junior high public schools are worked by area. That means you will be automatically sent to the school who's area your house is in. You can arrange to be sent to a different public school in another area, but you would need special circumstances such as being bullied, or a specific after-school-club not being available in your area. As soon as you arrive in Japan and your family registers at your local city office, they will give you information on what school you will be attending and begin the enrollment procedures for you. They will also send helper staff out to get you settled in on your first day at school. Private international schools are ludicrously expensive here. I think regular private schools are also fairly expensive too, but you are really wasting your money at those. They are seldom different from public schools. International schools are usually very nice though. Just so you know, yes, there are good and bad schools here. The difference is very noticeable. This gets even worse when you get to high school, so be sure to study hard so you can pass the entrance exams for one of the better ones.
3 :
Just to add to what people have already explained, there are some private schools, non-international, that accept returnee students, including those that need to brush up on their Japanese, and math. These are much cheaper than the international schools. If you are in Tokyo, ICU high school might be a good option, after you have completed junior high though. Being immersed into a completely Japanese environment will freak you out. I know, because I have been through it. A place like ICU where they have many people like us (Japanese, with reading and writing difficulty), should make for a comfortable place to get you adjusted.

I am a Japanese. The 10 to 12 grades in the US are equivalent to 1 to 3rd years of senior high school in Japan. Japanese education consists of : 6 years of elementary school (1-6 grades), 3 years of junior high school (7-9 grades) and 3 years of senior high school (10-12 grades) plus higher education: 4 years of undergraduates + 5 years of graduates (2-year Master's degrees + 3 years for Ph.D's) Most children enter the primary education at age 6 and graduate from senior high school at age 18. A school year starts in April and ends in March. For example, children born between 02 April 1986 and 01 April 1987 entered elementary school in April of 1993 and graduated from high school in March of 2005 (unless dropped out or repeated the year). Compulsory education is up until the junior high school (9th grade). Students must pass entrance examinations conducted by each senior high school (scholastic competency required varies across high schools) to go further. Most private institutions (including elementary schools) have their own tests or exams. The general admission to universities are based on the scores on entrance exams. To go to a national/public universities applicants must go through National Center Test for University Admissions　(usually 7 subject tests) and Exams conducted by a school you're applying to. If you are going to for example the School of Engineering University of Tokyo, you have to take exams in mathematics (covered Math I, II, III and Math A,B,C), Japanese (includes classics), foreign language (usually English), and two science subjects (ex. Physics and Chemistry). I am pretty not sure about whether or not levels of Japanese senior high school is concise with American ones since subjects they are learning and academic requirements for colleges are so different. But I can say the entrance exams for some highly selective schools such as the University of Tokyo and the University of Kyoto are made quite hard; some people wishing to enroll into those school but failed spend one or two or more gap years between secondary and higher education studying for the exams (called Ronin); therefore college freshmen are sometimes older than 18 or even 20. In addition, I think Japanese education is quite solid in math. Most students who enter national/public institutions must have mastered at least up to fundamental calculus (not just science/engineering students) which is required for the exams.
