International Students News

Japanese government has announced new border measures that would allow the entry of international students, ending months of uncertainty for thousands. On November 8, 2021, Tokyo rolled out new travel rules, to be made effective within the month.

 The country has started accepting visas for study abroad, technical training and business. As of last month, roughly 370,000 foreigners were waiting for the border to reopen, with students and technical interns making up about 70 percent of them.

According to Japan’s NHK news agency, students will be allowed to enter the country “on the condition that the accepting company or university manages their behavior.”

 Agencies catering to students have been quick to get a move on paperwork. Therefore, international students are encouraged to prepare their applications to enter the country for April 2022.
