A basic elementary Japanese language ability. Many students think that going to a Japanese language school is to learn Japanese, and they do not pay attention to elementary Japanese. However, it should be noted that elementary Japanese is a requirement of the Immigration Bureau, and It is not a language school. High school students (including students from the third school) who have no Japanese language ability may be refused a visa. Therefore, we usually recommend that students take the E.F level exam and obtain at least F level. This way, students can have a guarantee in their visa application. .

2. Letter of Reason for Studying

The Letter of Reason for Studying is the main way for the Japanese Immigration Bureau to understand students’ motivations for studying in Japan. Therefore, the writing of the Reason for Studying in Japan is also very important, mainly to highlight the Why did you choose to study in Japan, what are your plans for studying in Japan, your future choices after graduation, etc., the corresponding Japanese translation is even more important. In order to avoid low-level mistakes, it is best to let professional teachers do it.

In most cases, it is no longer necessary to submit the capital formation process, but there are a few points to note. It is best for the bank to issue the certificate to be a large bank, such as Bank of China, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, China Construction Bank, etc., rather than a small local bank.
