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.

 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.

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.

 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.
