Generally, international students attending Japanese universities are granted the "student" visa.
This status is required for various procedures, including scholarship applications and a request for the university to serve as guarantor for apartment leases. Accordingly, those with a different status are asked to change it to "student" visa. Changing visa status from” temporary visitor” to “college student” is usually not permitted.
Also, those who wish to search for or take up employment after graduation need to change their "student" visa to a different one.

Notes

• Students awarded the Japanese Government （Monbukagakusho） Scholarships must acquire a "student （ryugaku）" visa before entering Japan and enter Japan with the "student （ryugaku）" residence status. Please note that students who change their visa status to one other than "student" after arrival in Japan will lose their qualification to be Japanese Government Scholarship recipients from the date their visa status is changed, and they will not be able to receive the scholarship.
• If you wish to work in Japan or continuing to search for employment after you leave university, you must change your residency status of "Student （ryugaku）".
  For details, please see here.
• If you need to stay for a while after you complete your studies, please check with the immigration bureau before you graduate. Even if you change your visa from student to, for example, "temporary visitor" for the purpose of preparing to leave the country, you may no longer be qualified to receive services from your municipal government. Please contact your municipal office for details as well.
• If your period of stay is 15 months, 27 months, 39 months or 51 months, you cannot change your status to "Temporary Visitor," as the period already includes the preparation period for leaving the country.
