Necessary documents |
(Regarding activities for which a Certificate of Eligibility is not issued (working holidays, EPA nurse candidates, etc.), the documents that have to be submitted and the application procedures differ depending on the type of activity, so please consult in advance with the embassy or consulate where the application will be made.) Chinese nationals must also submit the following documents:
(Note) Depending on the nationality of the applicant, other documents may be necessary in addition to the above. For details please refer to the website of a Japanese embassy or consulate in your area. (Note) What is a Certificate of Eligibility? A Certificate of Eligibility, which is issued by a regional immigration authority under the jurisdiction of the Immigration Services Agency of Japan, certifies that the foreign national conforms to the conditions for landing in Japan (which means the activity stated in the application is not false and it is one of the activities (except Temporary Visitor) stipulated in the Immigration Control Act). For details, check the website of the Immigration Services Agency of JAPAN. (A proxy in Japan can make an application of COE) By presenting COE, the visa application at the Embassy or Consulate-General and the landing examination at the passport control will be processed smoothly. However, please note that a COE does not guarantee the issuance of a visa. A visa application for this type of visa could be made without COE. However, the applicant will be required to submit a large amount of verification documents and it could take a long time (several months) to process. |
