The Period of Stay is very important for international students living in Japan.

 

International students residing in Japan must obtain a Period of Stay by renewing their initial Period of Stay.

 

If you stay in Japan without going through this procedure, you will be deported as an illegal immigrant.

In addition, punishment is stipulated for illegal immigration.

 

If your school will renew your Period of Stay, please follow the school's instructions.

① A. When can I start the procedure?
