How to Apply for Student Visa in Japan

Before applying for a visa, students intending to study in Japan or their proxies will apply for the Certificate of Eligibility for a Status of Residence and have it issued to them at the Regional Immigration Bureaus in Japan. With this Certificate of Eligibility in hand, students will then personally apply for a visa at the Japanese Embassy. Students can apply for a visa without Certificate of Eligibility. But the time required to process this visa application will take longer in this case. Japanese Government (MEXT) Scholarship students are not required to obtain the Certificate of Eligibility before applying for a visa.
In Japan, a medical insurance system is available to reduce the burden on medical cost. Foreigners who will be staying in Japan for a period of more than one year have to subscribe to the National Health Insurance. The insurance premium has to be paid monthly once registration is completed. However, in most cases, the premium is about 20,000 JPY per year. Once registered with the National Health Insurance, you will only need to pay 30% of the total medical bill.
