Visa Requirements

In addition to completing the Admission Application, please submit the following documents by the student visa application deadline. All supporting documents must be in English. Documents sent to TUJ will not be returned.


1. Certificate of Eligibility Application Form for a Student Visa

Please complete the following:


2. Copy of Your Passport

Page with photo and personal information.


3. Two identical passport photos (4 cm high x 3 cm wide)

Photos must show a clear, full front view of the student's face from the bottom of the chin to the top of the hair against a white or off-white background. Photos must be official passport photos, taken at such places as a pharmacy or a professional photography studio. They also must be in color and printed on photo paper. 2 inch x 2 inch photos can be submitted if they are official passport photos.


4. Proof of Financial Viability

To issue a student visa, the Japanese Immigration Bureau requires that all students show the ability to support themselves. TUJ estimates 3 million yen (or equivalent foreign currency) as the amount necessary to cover costs, including tuition, school fees, and living expenses, for the first two semesters. This can be done by submitting copies of any combination of the following documents: financial aid award letter, bank statements, retirement account statements (must have documentation regarding cash/loan availability), cash available from your credit lines, loan approvals, or scholarship award letters. Parents, relatives, or acquaintances may submit documents on behalf of the applicant. These documents must reflect your current financial situation and must be dated within three months of the application deadline. Documents may not be submitted after the application deadline.



Note: A visa application fee of ¥20,000 will be charged as part of the Advance Payment. Applicants exempt from the Advance Payment (as determined by the University) must submit the ¥20,000 visa application fee as part of the visa application requirements.
