Hmmmm. This statement is strange to me.

For Foreigners in general, Katakana is used.

Some organizations require that you put in Kanji characters.

However, foreigners dont have kanji names (unless ofcourse they become citizens, in which case, they have to change their names to something that has a Kanji).

Now in this case, Hiragana will be the next best thing.

komia:
The form is basically made for a typical Japanese which has 2 sections-kanji- Chinese characters and hiragana the simplified japanese characters. A foreigner lacks kanji. What’s mostly is normally done is you write that kanji section using Romaji ( normal alphabet). The other section you write katakana characters. That means you write your name twice which is the common and official way to write documents in Japan.

komia:
That’s not hiragana. It’s katakana which is used to write foreign names.

moonraker:
hmm i believe its オービ？

obirichy:
You can do it here pls.. Richard Obi
Please enter your furigana in full-width Hiragana. That's d instruction

obirichy:
Please what is the meaning of furigana? What should I fill in such column?

obirichy:
Apology accepted, I'm not in Japan, you guys know better, the only thing I can say I'm sure of is my friend came in to Japan a month ago with a visiting visa and he got a factory job. One cant actually know what is happening in all part of the country. S Korea is the hardest place to get in but some fortunate people get in there with business visa and still get factory work to survive. I know many of us here wants to get in there and work not really to school... Student visa is safer anyway but some still get in with business visa and get jobs too. I have a friend here he got a visa to s Korea for business ,he got a job and worked for 3 months and made some money he returned to Nigeria to show off and couldn't enter back till now, his business visa was remaining 1month to expire.

hello please how much is tuition fee for undergraduate in public universitie

moonraker:
The rules changed. Immigration started issuing 20 hours.

moonraker:
20 hours in a week.

moonraker:
The bolded is one point. But I will be frank with you.

Calling with a Japanese number will not change the situation.

As someone who has been through the Japanese educational system,

Professors dont have time.For me to talk to my

Prof back in the day, i would have to make an appointment. I think what guys need to do is to contact

the admissions office of the prospective school and take it from there.

The Japanese visa is one of the hardest Visa`s to get right now as a Nigerian

because of what our brothers have done in the past. Nigeria has a very bad rep here.

I posted some news about some Nigerian destroying gravestones and temples in Osaka.

Tell me, when that news gets passed on to MoFA, its game over.

I am not against helping anyone here, make no mistake about that.

I am just not in support of something that i would not do myself.

OK boss! Am planning toward next year September intake so I wanted to start early to avoid delay and to atleast start exchanging email early to secure my space. I have a bsc in biochemistry and want a related course work. I applied to Kobe uni., kyushu uni, Tokyo institute of tech, yokohama national uni, and some more. Pls, can someone help do the process over there? because am thinking of searching 4 foreign ova dia to assist.
Bro, advise me pls

dreaonit:
OK bros. I have been trying to find a contact with kobe university as research student have sent mail to about 3 diff uni none is responding. Am thinking of calling them each. Thanks for the advise. God bless

dreaonit:
You guys should answer us that wants to study in japan either MSc or language school that I can pay arrival or pay after visa is granted. Pls bros

moonraker:
I believe you have been answered?

What your asking for doesn’t exist. I am telling
You the gospel truth here. Every school requires
That you do an entrance exam plus interview
For masters. I know this because I literally
Walked my girl through the process.

Plus before anything, you would have to drop something before any thing happens. The only way you get to avoid all that bullshit is if you by some miracle get the Mext scholarship. Which as you know, is a mountain on its own from Nigeria .

That lives you with language school. The language school will require that you drop half of the tuition before they send you admission letter. Which leaves you with the mountain of convincing the embassy that you will return after your Japanese language studies or if your unlucky, you will be asked to convince the embassy, why japan or the Japanese language. Are you seeing the picture?

jihday:
yes please

Jacob50:
Thanks Guys, I appreciate

After applying for admission, in order to take the entrance exam, which of the visa should I apply for?

Jacob50:
Hey Guys,
II was hoping I can get advice here

I'm trying to do my masters in Japan and I can currently cover every oda expenses but my tuition fee. So I was planning on travelling ova there, work for d period b4 admissions start coming in then use my salary to pay the tuition. I was wondering if anybody here can advice on the type of visa that can offer me something close to this possibility.




A work holiday visa would have worked but Nigeria is not on the list allowed to apply for a Work holiday visa

Ps: I do have a relative there willing to help.
Thanks in advance

daryoor:
i will apply to the university straight now, so how will i be able to learn japanese while i study the masters. Cause i am really willing to intergrate with the society not just hustle to return home .

im going to Google now but any info pertaining to masters admission u have ill appreciate

trastar:
2.5 million for Visa application if you have a family of 4-5, yes.
But this is what i always say to people, the process is such that your victories are in stages and the fee for the smaller victories isnt that much.
English test is a victory-cost about 55k
EA assessment another victory- the most important hurdle to cross -cost about 300k (if i am not mistaken).


By the time you have spent this almost 500k and you are receiving the good news of ITA.
Like a letter from Australia saying "Madam, you are eligible, pay for visa"- 2.5M will be the least of your worries.
Its like being pregnant and going into labour-the joy of what comes after labour is too big compared to the pain of labour.

On the issue of what to assess as, the truth is, you really need to read the thread.
I am also hoping our engineers in the house can help.
Also, you may want to wait with assessment for now. New occupation list will be out in July.
wait to see whats on it before applying.

Nayaaaaa:
Good day everyone in the house. I have been following this thread from part 1 (although I didn’t finish because the thread is too long) and I have some questions. We want to use my husband as principal applicant
Age: 33
Education: Bsc Electical and Electronics Engineering
Years of experience: 7+ NYSC 8
English test: not yet
His work experience is in telecommunications site management, now he’s a regional manager in the same job. We don’t know what profession to use. And what states to apply to. Q Secondly, someone said I shouldn’t bother with Australian pr that it costs about 2.5mill for application. Can someone please confirm or refute this claim

Freshemzy:
Please can you shed more light on this

aguizm:
