Japanese government sources said Thursday

The Japanese government is considering easing its entry ban on visitors from Thailand, Vietnam, Australia and New Zealand currently in place due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
And plans to letting in up to around 250 foreigners per day from those countries.
Lifting the ban for business visitors is the first step, and the Japanese government is negotiating terms with four countries. And lifting the ban for International students is the second step.
Depending on the situation, the government will expand the list later to other countries, including EU country, the United States, China and South Korea.

Emergency Student Support Handout for Continuing Studies

Due to heavy reductions in household income and income from part-time work because of the impact of the novel coronavirus pandemic, the national government is offering support in the form of a cash handout to students who face difficulties continuing their studies abroad at universities (including graduate schools), junior colleges, technical colleges, vocational schools, and Japanese language schools.
Universities will decide who are able to receive a cash handout based on the contents of the application.

We always have a choice

We always have a choice or there is always a chance !
I don’t believe in this or I don’t believe in this phrase/expression.
Miracles don’t happen or there are no miracles.
Those who want to learn should make an effort.
Do the best you can with creativity and originality.
Believe in yourself, anything is possible.
But that idea is incorrect.
Do nothing, stay home.
Maybe we should give up on our dreams.

For those who applied for the July term

We hope the coronavirus will come to an end.

But we are not sure whether the July course can be offered by the effect of coronavirus.
Your COE will be issued by the Immigration Bureau on May 21st.
And we will send you your COE by DHL if you can come to Japan to study without effects of coronavirus.
Make sure you get a student visa at Japanese Embassy or consulate and get your ticket before you pay your tuition fees.
But If you can’t come for some reason or other, you can change to the October, January or April term. Or if you give up on coming to Japan, we will refund the tuition fees.
