How do you obtain a visa to japan? -

I m planning on going to japan as an exchange student my senior year, and im researching information on things that i need to do in order to do it. So I come along the thingy called a visa... How do you obtain it? do you have to physically go to a consulate general of japan in order to get it? or can i just send an application to it?

If you sign up with an organization that arranges for you to go as an exchange student, getting your visa or directing you on how to do it is part of their responsibility. To get a student visa, you must have proof of being accepted into a program. If you would like to go ahead ans learn about visas, go to the site below and read under quot;Entry Requirements .and see the contact info in the 2nd to last paragraph of that section. Then see 2nd site also to research visa info. Hope all works out well for you.

If you become an exchange student, it means that your school does visa application. So you have to give documents necessary to your school office instead of going to Consulate. Otherwise, it depends on each Consulate if they accept application by mail. Contact the Consulate who is responsible for visa application in your state. http://www.us.emb-japan.go.jp/english/ht...
