What do we do？

Offering profound student support in a warm atmosphere.
Please do not hesitate to talk to us not only about the school
but also about everyday troubles regarding life in Japan.

Support before enrolment

Free-consultation

Our staff, possessing extensive knowledge of student visas, provide tailored guidance to each student,offering the most suitable advice for their visa application.

Furthermore, all Japanese staff at ALA have personal experience studying abroad.

Therefore, even after your arrival in Japan, we offer not only support for Japanese language study,

but also provide attentive counselling and assistance with everyday life and concerns unique to living overseas

Application for Student Visa and COE

ALA will apply to the Immigration Services Agency on behalf of the applicant

for a Certificate of Eligibility. Furthermore, for students wishing to continue

their Japanese language studies, we also handle applications for student visa extensions at the Immigration Services Agency.

Additionally, we facilitate changes from various other visa types to a student visa.

Arranging International Student Insurance

This insurance covers medical treatment received at hospitals

or prescription medication obtained during your stay in Japan.

There is absolutely no need to arrange this personally.

Enrolment at ALA automatically includes application for

international student insurance. ALA provides support with completing claim forms

for reimbursement of medical expenses and the reimbursement process itself.

*Please note that certain treatments, such as dental care, are not covered.

Introduction to Partner Real Estate Agencies

Finding accommodation in Japan,

signing a contract, and moving in can be an incredibly demanding process

for foreign nationals. However, there is no need for concern.

ALA can introduce you to reliable real estate agencies with

extensive experience specialising in serving foreign clients.

※ALA does not provide boarding houses or student dormitories

Support after enrolment

Support for essential services procedures

We assist with opening bank accounts and procedures at city halls

and other offices.No Japanese language skills are required.

In Japan, personal seals are frequently used for procedures such as opening bank accounts

and mobile phone contracts.

We therefore also offer seal engraving services.

Part-time Job Placement

International students residing in Japan on a student visa may apply to

the Immigration Bureau for permission to engage in activities outside

the scope of their visa status, allowing them to work part-time

for up to 28 hours per week. ALA supports students seeking part-time work

by constantly updating the on-campus noticeboard with the latest job listings

and offering CV review services.

Employment Support

We provide various forms of support for students wishing to find employment in Japan.

We regularly hold job seminars, provide guidance on writing application forms

and CVs, and offer interview practice sessions led by specialist instructors.

We also organise information sessions for corporate internships

and provide career placement support.
