Classification stage
Self-classification · are you 'passing through'
This stage
Classify yourself first: exchange / agreement dispatch / approved study abroad are pass-through — no degree, credits carried home — not a springboard to a Japanese degree.
This step includes examples that are specific to a country or region. Treat them as notes, then follow the current rules for your nationality, actual residence, document issuer, and the Japanese mission responsible for your area.
