LONG TERM STUDY

Long-term study (2 or more terms)

Students studying for longer periods usually obtain a student visa (Ryuugaku visa in Japanese). The procedure is somewhat time consuming so students need to apply well in advance of the date they hope to start classes. Students cannot obtain these visas on their own, they must first apply to Yoshida to begin the process. We will guide you through the process to try and make it as simple as possible.

If you wish to studying and to acquire a Student visa at this institute, the deadline to apply for the July term is March 08, 2019. But deadline is subject to change without announcement depending on the number of applicants. Please contact us for more details.
