Language school inquiry

Japanese-language schools are a different pathway from municipal public-school enrollment. If a person plans to study under Student residence status, use current ISA information and confirm that the institution/course fits the intended residence procedure.

What BRIDGE can tell you now

Japanese-language schools are a different pathway from municipal public-school enrollment. If a person plans to study under Student residence status, use current ISA information and confirm that the institution/course fits the intended residence procedure.

What to check

  • ✓Confirm the exact institution and course, not only the school brand/name.
  • ✓Keep admission questions separate from residence-status questions; they may require different authorities.

Important

BRIDGE should not say a school automatically qualifies someone for Student status. Immigration eligibility is decided through the official residence procedure.
