Japan’s ambassador Hiroshi F Suzuki said in a YouTube interview that getting a visa to Japan is super simple. All one requires to get a student visa is to present the student ID. He also spoke about the relaxation of visa requirements for Indian students.

Within three years of graduating from universities in India, students will be permitted to submit certificates of student status or graduation for the purpose of visa rather than submitting documents to confirm financial capability in the application for single entry visa for short-term stay with the purpose of tourism.

This relaxation was meant to further advance people-to-people exchanges with India, including an increase of young visitors.

“If you are a student, all you have to do is present your student ID. I am encouraging young Indian people to go to Japan to get skill training and job opportunities,” Suzuki said.

He also said that more and more Indian people come to Japan for study and work and the Indian and Japan relationship will be even better.
