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.
Before applying, record your nationality, actual place of residence, and where your documents were issued. Open the responsible Japanese embassy or consulate's visa application page to check required documents and where to submit them.
