Visa type change. 2010/5/4 02:05
It is my first time in this website, so I want to say ''Hi'' to all!

This is my question.

I will arrive in Japan in summer with a culture-student visa, in order to improve my japanese. Since I am also waiting selection results for a post-doctorate work in a japanese university, I am curious to know (in the case I will win that selection) if I will be able to change my visa type (from student to researcher).

Is it possible?

Thanks!

Yes, if you have all the documents and prerequisites for the researcher visa, I think you should be able to apply for a change of your status of stay within Japan at an immigration bureau.
