 How to Apply for a Certificate of Eligibility

Anyone wishing to live in Japan who does not hold Japanese citizenship or permanent
residency must acquire the relevant residence status (visa) for the activity they plan to
undertake in Japan. Students who are studying at a Japanese university need to apply for the
“Student” category.

Exchange students applying for the Certificate of Eligibility will go through the following
processes.

1. Prospective students should complete all required fields of the “Application for Certificate
of Eligibility” and submit it to Tokyo City University.

2. Tokyo City University will submit the application to its local Immigration Bureau of Japan
on your behalf.

3. Tokyo City University will receive your Certificate of Eligibility and post it to your
university. It may take up to three months from application to receiving the Certificate of
Eligibility.

4. Once you have received your Certificate of Eligibility, you should apply for your visa
(category: student) at your closest Japanese Embassy or Consulate. You will need your
passport and other documentation may be required.
＊ Please check with your closest Japanese Embassy or Consulate about what
documentation is required and how long it is expected to take until the visa is granted.

Once your visa is granted, you will be given the appropriate residence status upon arrival in
Japan. You must have a visa in order to enter Japan. If a visa is not granted, or is significantly
delayed, your acceptance to Tokyo City University will be cancelled.
