The embassy in the depths of the compound has always been strange to people outside the besieged city, as if it were on the way to study in a foreign country. When you walk in, you will suddenly realize that all the things that are difficult in your imagination are actually very simple as long as you understand them.

Certificate of residence qualification in China
Choosing a suitable Japanese school is the first step to study in Japan. There are many ways to learn about Japanese universities, which can be inquired through the internet or contacted by letters. If you choose to study in Japan, that is, to study in a regular university, the basic condition is to have a diploma of 12 years or more. If you choose "school", that is, language learning, then the conditions are much more relaxed. As long as you want to go, it seems that opportunities are waiting for you at any time. And after arriving in Japan, I will have the opportunity to choose to study abroad again!
Of course, in addition to suitable majors, the fees charged by Japanese universities must be a factor you must consider. Now that you have received the admission notice, it's time to go through the visa formalities.
At this time, the first thing to do is to find relatives, financial guarantors or schools in Japan and apply for residence qualification certificates at the local immigration office in Japan. This certificate is very important, but it is the key to applying for a visa. Because to apply in Japan, it will take about 1-2 months to get the qualification certificate for staying in Japan.
Schools in Japan usually start in April, so if you plan to go to Japan, this is the best time to start applying.
Bring all the information at once.
9: 00 am-12: 00 am is the time for the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai to accept visas. If you don't bring all the materials needed for visa application right away, you may have to queue up in advance again.
The required materials include valid passport, qualification certificate for studying in Japan and its photocopy, 1 Japanese entry visa application (received by the embassy), 1 photo (4.5cm vertical and 3.5-4.5cm horizontal), ID card or temporary residence permit, household registration book and its photocopy, notarized certificate of the highest academic diploma, admission permit (photocopy) and admission application (voluntary admission).
Japanese visa officers generally refuse visas for three reasons: low Japanese proficiency; No desire to study hard; Providing forged certification materials. You will get an answer within one week after applying for a visa. If you are lucky, you can take a Japanese flight only by paying the visa fee of RMB in 200 yuan.
Well, under the direct guidance of the visa officer, you now know the simplest route to study in Japan!
