Indian Students Only Need Their Student ID Card To Get A Visa To Japan, Says Japanese Ambassador

Good news for Indian students who are keen to go to Japan for further studies. As per the latest news reports, The Japanese Ambassador to India, Hiroshi F Suzuki, has extended a warm invitation to Indian students and the youthful population, encouraging them to explore educational opportunities in Japan.

In an interview with YouTuber Mayo San, Suzuki said that it’s quite simple to acquire a student visa for Japan. All one has to do is present a student ID card, and they are good to go. Highlighting the streamlined visa process, along with an abundance of skill development programs and promising job prospects, the envoy stressed about the vast potential awaiting Indian aspirants in the ‘land of the rising sun.’ Suzuki conveyed a specific message to the people of India, especially the youth, urging them to consider studying and working in Japan. He specifically addressed students, assuring them that obtaining a visa is remarkably straightforward, requiring only the presentation of a student ID.

Furthermore, Suzuki shared a notable development in visa regulations for Indian students, stating that within three years of graduating from Indian universities, students can now submit certificates of student status or graduation instead of documenting financial capability when applying for a single-entry visa for short-term stays with tourism as the purpose.

When asked about the striking differences between Japan and India, Suzuki pointed out language as a significant contrast. He highlighted Japan's unified writing system compared to India's diverse linguistic landscape, marvelling at the multitude of different writings in India, likening each state to a distinct country with its own unique identity.
