Staff of the International Student Affairs Section visit the Immigration Bureau approximately once a month to handle applications related to students' status of residence. Dates of visits to the Immigration Bureau will be notified by e-mail. If you need to submit an application, contact the International Student Affairs Section.
If you need to extend your current status of residence, you must apply for an Extension of Period of Stay. You may apply for this during the three months before your period of stay expires.
