How to convert a tourist working visa into a study visa in Japan?

As long as you are admitted to the school, you can apply for a study visa after the work visa expires. If you resign to study while the work visa is still valid, it is best to declare it to the Immigration Bureau.

If you want to study and work in Japan, you must go to the local Immigration Bureau to apply for a "permit for activities beyond qualifications".

When applying to the Immigration Bureau, you need to submit the following materials:

A. Application form for permission to engage in activities outside of qualifications

B. Passport

C. Alien registration card

D. A supplementary application form issued by the school (similar to a school-approved document suitable for part-time work)

1. Choose a school and confirm the school. Obtain admission to the school through application, interview, etc. How to apply and whether you want an interview? You can go to the school's official website to find information and contact their admissions office.

2. If you pass the application and the school expresses its intention to admit you, it will issue you an admission permit, pay the tuition, and prepare a set of materials for studying abroad visa, passport, photos, Japanese language learning certificate, Japanese language certificate , graduation certificate, income and savings certificate of the fund payer, etc.

3. Collect all the materials and pay the stamp duty of 4,000 yen. The person from the admissions office will help you apply to the Immigration Bureau.

4. Enroll in school and get a new study visa.

If you have attended a language school in Japan for more than one year, it is basically impossible to apply for a study visa for a language school again. Study visas for universities and vocational schools will not be affected.
