Japan Key points in the review of study abroad visa

1. Family financial ability to pay

Family financial ability to pay has become the key point in the review. The family financial ability of applicants for study abroad is more important. The various certificates issued by the relevant public and administrative agencies for the fund payer to prove his or her financial ability are strictly scrutinized.

2. Language proficiency level

In the past, applicants who applied to study in Japan, especially those who studied in language schools, usually required only 150-200 Japanese language hours before going to Japan. Just count.

However, in recent years, there have been repeated cases where the Japanese language course certificate issued by the applicant before going to Japan does not match the actual Japanese proficiency. In addition, some domestic language training institutions are driven by profits and frequently falsify the certificate at the beginning of the semester, losing their integrity. In view of the above situation, Japan visa review has strengthened its efforts in this regard.

Based on the overall visa situation analysis in recent years, starting from the next year, in addition to proof of study hours, applicants for study in Japan may be explicitly required to submit corresponding test certificates issued by 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 conducive to student selection in terms of test time.

3. 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 a residence permit are eligible to submit final visa applications to various embassies and consulates. According to common practice, due to the limitations of the Japanese Immigration Bureau’s manpower and funds, the residence 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 applicant’s fund payer are generally conducted by each embassy or consulate.

However, this year, Japan has strengthened the review in this area in the first review stage. The immigration bureaus in some regions have invested a lot of money and hired a large number of translators to conduct direct interviews on applicants or fund payers from Japan. Related investigations. 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 the guarantee for successfully obtaining a visa.
