For long-term Japanese language studies requiring a student visa, you will need to have passed the JLPT N5 exam (or the equivalent on another test) or have completed 150 hours of Japanese language study.

  1. After we have identified the school that best suits your purpose, goals, and preferences, we will fill out the application forms and gather your supporting documents.
  2. We will then apply to the school on your behalf. The school will apply to Japanese Immigration.
  3. Once approved, the school will receive your Certificate of Eligibility (COE). This takes several months. You will then receive an invoice from the school to pay your tuition and other fees.
  4. Once you pay the invoice, the school will mail you your COE along with an Official Letter of Acceptance. You will then go to your nearest Japanese embassy or consulate with the original COE, visa application form, photos, and a valid passport. This process takes about six working days.
  5. After you pick up your passport at the embassy or consulate, which will contain a stamp and your student visa, you will be able to enter Japan within the timeframe specified on the visa itself.

You cannot apply for a COE to more than one school at the same time. So you need to choose the right school for you before applying.

Student's Success Stories

Finding Ideal Consultancy was like "finding God when searching for a stone." After completing high school, I was looking for a good consultancy among the numerous consultancies in Kathmandu, and luckily I came across this. My entire visa process was smooth. All the staff members were generous and kind. I would suggest Ideal Consultancy to anyone who is willing to go to Japan.

To satisfy their students' ideal consultancy leave no stone unturned. When I was planning to go to Japan for my further studies, I was suggested to apply via Ideal Consultancy & Career Development Pvt. Ltd. by my seniors. I was amazed by their services and their guidance. I must say it is one of the best consultancies in Kathmandu for visa processing for Japan. In Kathmandu, there are many consultancies to choose from, but Ideal stands out among them because of their years of experience and their well-spoken staff members. I was very satisfied with their service.
