Normally, when applying for a visa to study at a Japanese language school in Japan, a one-year Pre college Student (shuugaku) visa would be granted.
However, as Tokyo Japanese Education Center is an organization which prepares a foreign student for further studies at a university or graduate school, students would be granted a College Student (Ryuugaku) visa.  To be granted a College Student (Ryuugaku) visa, the Certificate of Eligibility (COE) from the Immigration Office is necessary.  However the school would represent the student for the application of the COE.  The general visa application process is as follows:

1. On receiving the Certificate of Admission from the school, please submit the necessary documents for the application of the COE to the school. The school will represent the student in submitting the application to the Immigration Bureau of Japan.
   ↓
2. As the issued COE would be sent to the Contact Person, please collect it from him/her.
   ↓
3. Submit your passport, COE and Certificate of Admission to the Japanese Embassy or Consulate-General of Japan in your country to apply for the student visa.

A Contact Person is the person who would play a vital role in establishing communications between the student and the school during the application process and entrance procedures.  Also, he/she is responsible for providing a conducive studying environment, assist in health management, and act as an advisor to the student on further studies and daily life.

As a rule, each foreign student should be attached to a Contact Person who has a close relationship with the student and lives within the city or suburbs.  For students who do not have a Contact Person, please contact the school's admission department at the following number.
