I will be sending off my visa application packet within tomorrow or the next day and I thought I would share some of the requirements.
For starters, currently, the application fee itself is free for U.S. residents going to Japan. Yay! I give you permission to celebrate.
Alright now down to business. You can access the required info on the Japanese Consulate of Michigan's website.
For me since I live outside of the Detroit and surrounding area I am permitted to mail mine rather than drive for hours there and back and submit the paperwork. For this I am very grateful.
One of the first things the list says is you will need to send your passport in the packet, along with the application for the visa and the letter and certificate of eligibility that the school sends to you from Japan. So I made a pdf copy of my passport and the letter and certificate for myself which I will print to take with me on my trip as backup.
It also requires a 2x2 photo of your head and shoulders, a copy of the certificate of eligibility that they send you. And because I am mailing it I will have to also send in a signed release form that basically takes away any of the consulates responsibility if my passport and info is lost or damaged.
In addition I will be sending a self addressed and stamped envelope for my return of my papers.
