What is the process for switching from a student visa to a work visa after graduation?

After securing a job offer from a Japanese company, the graduate must apply to change their status of residence from "Student" to a relevant work visa (e.g., "Engineer/Specialist in Humanities/International Services"). The employing company often assists with the application process, which is submitted to the Immigration Services Agency of Japan.

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

You can apply to change your "Student" visa to a "Designated Activities" visa, which is a specific permit for job-seeking activities. This typically allows you to stay for an additional six months to one year after graduation to find employment.

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

The University's International Student Support Office provides general guidance and documentation (such as proof of graduation) necessary for the visa application. However, the actual application is the responsibility of the student, often with support from their future employer.
