I suggest that you apply to change your visa status
from “student visa” to “Temporary
Visitor’s visa,” explaining that you are
finding a job before your visa expires. To do this,
you are required to obtain a recommendation letter
from your university to prove that you are looking
for a job.
If your visa change is approved, you will be able
to stay for an extra 90 days. If you can find a job
during this period, you must apply to change your
visa status from “Temporary Visitor’s
Visa” to “Work Visa.” If you fail
to find a job during this time, you can extend your
visa only one more time. You can stay in Japan for
a total of 180 days with a “Temporary Visitor’s
visa.”
If you are a scholarship student, you will not be
able to receive the scholarship money after graduating
from your university. If you apply to do certain activities
after your visa has expired, you will be granted exceptional
permission even though your status is “Temporary
Visitor.” This will allow you to look for a
job
while you are working at a part-time job. |
