The key to success in studying in Japan lies in the formulation of a study plan and the choice of applying schools. Because the rules only accept students who have completed 12 years or more of education in China with genuine diplomas, and students whose graduation date from their final genuine diploma exceeds five years will be subject to strict scrutiny regarding their study objectives and reasons.
Japan has eight Immigration Bureaus that handle the review of student residency qualifications. Although the policies are unified, the enforcement by different immigration bureaus varies. Therefore, students with different academic qualifications and graduation years applying to different immigration bureaus or having different study plans may result in different acceptance outcomes. Below are recommendations provided by professional consultants for students with different academic backgrounds:
For "vocational school students," applications for the Tokyo area may face stricter evaluations. However, in the Osaka area, vocational school students with a Japanese language proficiency test certificate at level four or J-TEST F-level or above can apply. For students who graduated more than five years ago, it is recommended not to apply to schools in areas such as Tokyo, Yokohama, Osaka, and Nagoya. These areas have a higher number of applicants, and cases exceeding the graduation year limit are directly categorized under strict review. High school students currently enrolled are a relatively stable group in terms of visa approval rates. It is recommended that they apply for the October intake in Japan in the same year, graduate in July, further enhance their Japanese language skills, and enroll in October for a more continuous learning experience. High school students applying should not omit the "scheduled graduation certificate" and are encouraged to participate in university entrance exams that year.
If you are a junior college graduate or currently enrolled in university, it is recommended to apply for the October intake. For those who have been out of school for an extended period before studying in Japan, it is suggested that, upon approval, one might consider abandoning their current studies in China. Even so, currently enrolled students should avoid abandoning their ongoing studies in China when applying for overseas study, as this could lead to suspicion about your study intentions by the reviewing officers.
In light of the continuously improving political relations between China and Japan and the friendly exchanges between the two countries, more people are showing interest in Japan, which in turn is leading to an increased interest in the Japanese language. As a result, China's Japanese language training market is gradually expanding. In this context, the requirements for students' Japanese language proficiency are becoming increasingly stringent. Professional consultants indicate: "The current job-seeking difficulties exist because many companies have realized that when selecting employees, they focus not only on diplomas but also on practical skills and foreign language application abilities. Some highly educated students struggle to find suitable jobs mainly due to deficiencies in skills and practical operational aspects."
Studying in Japan emphasizes the time limit after graduation. The longer the delay, the harder it becomes to obtain a visa. Therefore, for students who are about to graduate in July of the same year, the October intake recruitment is the most appropriate option. This is the simplest method for studying in Japan. Moreover, preparations for studying in Japan generally require starting materials preparation well in advance, balancing study and material preparation.
