3. The focus of review of Japanese study visa materials

1. The family’s financial ability to pay is the focus of the review

The family’s financial ability to pay for study abroad applicants is more important. . The various certificates issued by the relevant public and administrative agencies proving their financial ability are strictly scrutinized. The visa approval rate for applicants whose household registration is in the so-called "six provinces and cities" (Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Guangdong, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang) is still higher than that of applicants from local provinces and cities. Therefore, it is recommended that applicants for study abroad, especially those whose household registration is outside the six provinces and cities, must have proof of financial strength of the fund payer that conforms to common sense, especially the overall level of local economic development, and be realistic. . If it goes against general principles or common sense, the applicant may not be able to get a visa no matter how high his/her academic qualifications and language proficiency are. The family's financial ability to pay has always been the "key point" in each country's study visa review.

2. Language proficiency level will be standardized requirements

In the past, applicants who applied to study in Japan, especially those who studied in language schools, usually required only 150-150- 200 hours of Japanese language study is sufficient. However, due to the frequent occurrence in recent years that the "Certificate of Japanese Language Learning Hours" issued by applicants before going to Japan does not match the actual Japanese proficiency, and some domestic language training institutions are driven by profits, the phenomenon of falsely issuing "Certificate of Japanese Language Learning Hours" has frequently occurred, and lost the Integrity. In view of the above situation, Japan visa review has strengthened its efforts in this area. Based on the overall analysis of the visa situation, starting from the next year, in addition to proof of study hours, applicants for study in Japan will be clearly required to submit corresponding test certificates issued by relevant Japanese language proficiency testing institutions. In addition to the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JPT), the J.TEST exam (Japanese TOEIC Test) will be more widely adopted. Because compared to the Japanese Proficiency Test (JPT), this test is more convenient for students to choose in terms of test time. In 2007, the number of exams held across China increased to five.

3. Strengthen verification of the authenticity of application materials

Japanese visa is generally divided into two parts: First, you must obtain the "Certificate of Eligibility for Residence" issued by the Immigration Bureau of the Ministry of Justice of Japan (referred to as "Residence"), only applicants holding "Residence" are eligible to submit final visa applications to various embassies and consulates.

According to usual practice, due to the limitations of the Japanese Immigration Bureau's manpower and funds, the "Residency" review stage is generally based on written review, and most of them do not conduct telephone surveys. Relevant investigations on the applicant himself or the person who pays the applicant's funds are generally conducted by each embassy or consulate. However, this year, Japan has strengthened the review in this area during the first review stage. Immigration bureaus in some regions have invested a lot of money and hired a large number of translators from Japan to directly conduct relevant investigations on applicants or fund payers. Therefore, we would like to remind applicants to study abroad not to take chances. Submitting application materials that are consistent with your actual situation is a good guarantee for successfully obtaining a visa.
