What is the process for obtaining a work visa in Japan after graduation?

After receiving a formal job offer from a Japanese company, your employer will typically sponsor your application for a "Engineer/Specialist in Humanities/International Services" visa. You must apply for a change of status from your student visa to this work visa at the Immigration Services Agency of Japan before your student visa expires.

How long can I stay in Japan to look for a job after graduation?

You can apply to change your status of residence from "Student" to a "Designed Activities" visa, which serves as a job-hunting visa. This visa is typically granted for a period of up to one year, allowing you to remain in Japan specifically to search for full-time employment.

Does the university provide support for the post-graduation visa process?

Yes, the International Student Support Office and the Career Support Center provide guidance and workshops on the visa application process. They offer advice on required documents, application timelines, and can provide official university documents, such as a Certificate of Graduation, which are necessary for the visa application.
