Whether you need a visa to enter Japan depends on your nationality and length of stay.
Passport holders from certain countries may enter Japan without a visa for stays of up to 90 days under Japan’s visa exemption program.
If your nationality is not eligible for visa exemption, you must apply for a visa in advance.
Applicants who require a visa should indicate this on the application form.
Tohoku University will issue an invitation letter to admitted students.
Please check the latest visa requirements on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan website.
