I have transited using Beijing airport and Singapore airports using my Naija passport without issues. You can get 24hrs visa upon arrival 😀 in china if you wish to see the beauty of china while i await my connecting flight to Nagoya or you can stay at the airport if you don't feel like going out of the airport. But in Singapore i stayed at the airport. As long as you don't want to leave the airport you won't have any issues cos the airline knows how it works
Advising him to take bullet train looks very expensive and remember you will need to pay extra luggage if your luggage exceed 20kg which is very expensive unless upon arrival you can take the bullet train and waybill your luggage to your apartment using yamato delivery company that is less expensive 🫰, you can do that at 7-Eleven or familymart. Alternatively you can take night bus (cheapest means). Please try to be economical in spending since you are coming to Japan new.
It will be advisable to get the direct flight to your final destination which will be of great advantageous to you and if you currently residing in Lagos,I will advise you to visit Qatar airline office in Victoria island or at the airport they will give you the best advice. If you residing in Abuja, kindly visit their office or there stand at the airport. My little advice for you since you are new to Japan

If I'm not mistaken, you live in China, thus you have a Chinese resident permit. Rictech doesn't have a Chinese resident permit. All these take bus or waybill luggage is for those who know their way and can speak/read Japanese. OP is a first timer. He's not a tourist. The aim is to get to the final destination as soon as possible with few hassles. Anything two stops is stressful and unnecessary. Well, people are different. I would rather pay for the Bullet Train to my final destination than stress myself in another airport that doesn't take me to my country of destination.

P.S. Rictech, you're a first timer traveller to this part of the world, not as a tourist or for business. Avoid anything transit visa. Avoid it. The time to get a transit visa would most likely exceed the duration you got your Japanese visa.

Am not a resident of china if you read what i wrote and moreover you don't need to be fluent in Japanese before you can navigate your way. I will still advise him to avoid anything to do Tokyo airport cos it will be a great stress for him. Let him visit the airline office or stand at the airport for the best advice in other to avoid incurring unnecessary expenses or issues. Direct flight remains the best option for a new traveller

uchman:

blackbriar:

Thank you very much Judecares1...
Pls when was the last time you transited via Singapore airport ? On Ethiopian Airlines, i am seeing a layover of 10hrs 30 mins in Singapore
At the bold can you throw more light, like where to get these buses ?
At the Italic, I will visit the Qatar Airline office

Rictech:
Hi Uchman,

I no longer have access to the email linked to this account.
When I submitted my visa application, I did not include a statement of account or proof of funds. I only sent those documents to my school's immigration department when they were preparing my CoE application.
At the time, I had $2,500 in my USD account and approximately ₦2.5 million in my Naira account.
For any category of visa application, all the information you need is available on the Japan Embassy website.

Let me also add that anyone who wants to submit an application should not bother taking passport photographs beforehand, as the VFS officers receiving your application will reject them and ask you to use the photographer inside the hall. Their passport photographs cost a little over ₦6,000

Language schools > Senmmon gakko (choose an IT course) > get a job in the IT industry. Language school and Senmmon gakko should take 4 years minimum. Senmmon gakko are specialised colleges/schools for a particular industry/field.

You could still opt for a university-styled education, but I don't know if your age would be accepted for a bachelor's program. By then, you should be 32/33. Most importantly, senmmon gakko is for two years. BSc is for four years. Funding the latter is usually tougher for most foreigners without a generous scholarship. It is not easy or literally impossible to fund undergraduate studies with part-time jobs compared to graduate studies.

From my experience so far, decent/good jobs aren't the issue for foreigners, especially in the science and engineering sectors. The issue is not scholarship provided you qualify for one. The problem is not whether there are schools or not that offer your desired course. Universities have been merging because there is a decline in enrolment numbers. Some are projected to close because fewer students are applying. So, they are becoming more open/receptive to foreign students to shore up the numbers. The issue isn't a lack of part-time jobs (you cannot rely on this to fund an undergraduate program). The koko is the language. Once you know the language, Japan becomes very easy and filled with opportunities.

I don't know if there is a Japanese language school in Nigeria like we've with Korean and Chinese. There is a functioning Japanese language school in Cameroon and this has enabled many Cameroonians to come here because at N3 level, it becomes easier for language schools to admit Africans, especially older ones.

My advice: find a way to get into a language program around so that you are able to get up to N3 level. This one I am reading new students must present a certificate to prove 150 hours of language proficiency before being admitted to study for N5 level is new to me.

Good day sir,
I apologize for intruding into your DM. I am interested in furthering my education by pursuing a Master’s degree in Japan, preferably at an affordable university. I would be grateful if you could kindly connect me with any legitimate agency or resource that can assist me with securing admission and processing.
Thank you in advance for your guidance.

Good afternoon brothers and sister. Please I've been trying to book an appointment for Japanese tourist visa but no date is available for over 3 weeks now. I'm in Lagos.
My question is, can I go to Ghana and book this appointment? Or can I get this done in Ghana as a Nigerian?
