Good morning everyone.
This is a question I have that me be a shot in the dark actually, however I'm wondering if anyone has any knowledge on this subject or any advice they can offer. Im not looking for comments on my personal circumstances in possible, but more on the facts of actually doing this.
So I've been in Japan since March this year on a working holiday that finishes in March 2017. Ive fallen in love with Japan and have a strong desire to learn Japanese formally at a school. I want to stay in Japan and have an idea how to achieve both that, and to learn Japanese.
Ive already emailed a few schools I'm interested in, but is it possible to change my visa from a working holiday in March to a student visa? I understand my rights to working will change as well as other things, but i hope to stay for maybe 1 more year as a student under a new visa. There is obviously lots of information online, but my situation seems very specific, as in being on a working holiday and wanting to stay not on a working visa, but as a student.
The fees seem pretty high, but I'm okay financially and can afford it, but it seems just a bit too easy to just pay this, become a student at a school, and stay here for another year. At the same time though i can't see why this would be an issue, its not as if I'm looking to undertake anything illegal.
Thank you, any advice would be appreciated!
