Changing Your
Status of Residence |
|
|
|
| |
|
If you are studying as an undergraduate, graduate, Japanese Language Program student or Keio International Program student at Keio University, you must in principle obtain a status of residence of “College Student”. If you entered Japan under a different status of residence and were planning to change it, you should change your status of residence at the Immigration Bureau in the area where you live immediately after enrollment. Most applications for scholarships or student accommodation for international students are available only to those holding a status of residence of “College Student”. The following documents will be required when you change your status of residence, although the necessary documents are subject to change. Check in advance with the Immigration Bureau or at the International Center at your main campus. |
