1. Different types of visa applications need different materials. If you have obtained the qualification certificate for studying in Japan, you need to prepare the following materials: passport, qualification certificate for studying in Japan, visa application (available at the embassy), photos, copy of household registration book, copy of ID card, followed by relevant materials for application type. For example, if you are employed in Japan, you should provide a copy of the work contract.

2. I have passed Japanese Level 2. Your situation should be fine.

It usually takes 3 months to go abroad.

You go to the Japanese consulate in your area to apply for a visa. There are travel agencies that apply for visas, but the price is much more expensive than going by yourself. Consular visa fee 230 yuan. If it is a travel agency, you should discuss it with others. I suggest you check the website of the Japanese consulate in a city, where all the information is available and there are designated travel agencies.

5. Get your passport first. Passport can be used as an ID card, and you have to go to the public security bureau to handle it.

Then the embassy will mark your passport, which is called a visa.
