The permitted period of stay for a foreign national with “college student” resident status is four years and three months, four years, three years and three months, three years, two years and three months, two years, one year and three months, one year, six months, or three months. International students whose period of stay is due to expire while they are still attending university must obtain an extension of their period of stay.

Please bring the necessary documents to the International Office so that we can check your documents before you submit them to the Immigration Bureau. After we have checked your documents, we will issue a two-sheet Application for Extension of Stay (filled out by the organization you belong to). Please have all of the above documents ready and go to the Immigration Bureau. (Please make sure to obtain this Application form before you go to the Immigration Bureau to apply as if you do not, you will need to prepare all of these documents again.)
