Applicants Who Need a Student Visa

Applicants who do not have permission to reside in Japan (via citizenship or prior long-term visa) must apply for a student visa through TUJ. All visa application items must arrive at the program office in Tokyo on or before the Student Visa Application Deadline. Please contact us for more information.

Note: Visa application does not guarantee of the admission. We will assist visa applications submitted after the Student Visa Application Deadline. However, late applicants may not receive a Certificate of Eligibility (COE) from the Japanese Immigration Bureau in time to enter Japan on a student visa. (A COE is required to obtain a student visa.) Until students attain a student visa, they might have to endure some inconvenience. For more information about visa application, please contact us.

Please submit the following:

1. Admission Application Form

3. Transcripts and Degree Verification

Official transcripts from all third-level institutions attended must be submitted directly to Temple University, Japan Campus, by the issuing institutions in envelopes sealed by the institutions.

If any transcript merely lists the courses that you have completed, but does not show that the institution actually conferred your degree, then you must additionally ask the institution to submit a certificate of degree completion. The transcript alone will not suffice.

A certified English language translation must also accompany transcripts that are not issued in English. We do not accept transcripts that the applicant has handled or opened. Applicants may also submit overseas transcripts through an academic credentials evaluation service, such as World Evaluation Service (WES) New Tab or Law School Admission Council (LSAC) New Tab.

A personal statement should include information about your personal history, professional interests, and abilities that you think might help the Admissions Committee know you as a person and as a professional. Your personal statement should be between 500 and 1,000 words.
