How do college students apply for a visa to travel to Japan on their own?

Let me tell you how to get a single independent travel visa (15-day stay) for college students with relatively little money

Everything is done on Taobao!

I am located in Shanghai. In August 2017, I went to Japan alone. I stayed with my classmates who were studying in Japan for a full 15 days. You can just follow the following steps:

First of all, college students who want to travel to Japan directly search for "Japan independent travel visa" on Taobao, and many travel agencies that apply for visas will pop up. Just choose one with good reviews and moderate price (of course you should choose according to the consular district where your registered residence is, generally Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai are considered one consular district);

Ask the customer service first and tell them your basic situation (Free travel for college students), he will tell you what price visa package you should take based on your situation, and send you the paper templates and forms you need to prepare by email;

Payment;

There are many sample forms in the email. Please fill them out according to the template requirements, print them and send them back to the travel agency that handles the visa together with your photo and passport;

You can get them after 7 to 15 days. It’s time to get a visa. During the peak summer season, I suggest you allow 15 days to apply for a visa, because I only waited 14 days. Of course, if you are in a hurry, you can pay more for expedited service.

Taobao VS Travel Agency Store The main advantage of applying on Taobao is that it is cheap. The most common package that requires a deposit is less than 200 yuan. However, the package I applied for did not require a deposit, so it was a bit expensive but still okay. Less than 400 yuan. I went to a physical travel agency before and asked, and the asking price was around 800, which is relatively expensive. If you don’t trust the travel agencies on Taobao, you can also go to a physical travel agency.

Another advantage of using Taobao to process the itinerary is that I was going to live with a classmate at her house (can I save a lot of accommodation fees!). But such behavior does not meet the requirements of the visa, because independent travel in Japan requires you to provide a clear itinerary (hotel information), but I don’t stay in a hotel, what should I do? So I asked Taobao customer service, and they said they would help with it (well, they would just provide a fake itinerary). So if you find yourself in a situation where you are defecting to someone else and not staying in a hotel, don't worry, they will take care of it.

Have a nice trip!
