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.

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!
