Common questions Nepali students have about studying in Japan.
For most programs — especially language schools and Japanese universities — you will need at least basic Japanese (JLPT N4 or JFT-Basic). However, some universities offer English-taught programs that do not require Japanese proficiency. Sukriti Global's Japanese language training prepares you for both paths.
Tuition fees at Japanese language schools range from ¥600,000–¥900,000 per year. University undergraduate programs typically cost ¥500,000–¥800,000/year at national universities and higher at private ones. Monthly living costs average ¥80,000–¥130,000 depending on the city. Part-time work can cover a significant portion of living expenses.
The Certificate of Eligibility (CoE) is a document issued by the Japanese Immigration Services Agency confirming that you meet the requirements for a student visa. Your Japanese school will apply for the CoE on your behalf. Once received, you submit it to the Japanese Embassy in Nepal to obtain your visa.
Yes. International students in Japan are allowed to work up to 28 hours per week during term and full-time during holidays, provided they have obtained a work permission stamp from immigration. This is one of Japan's most student-friendly policies and helps students manage living expenses.
The overall Japan student visa process typically takes 4–6 months from application submission to visa issuance. This includes school application, CoE processing (2–3 months), and embassy visa processing. We recommend starting the process at least 6–8 months before your intended start date.
Japan actively encourages international graduates to stay and work. Students who graduate from Japanese universities can apply for a "designated activities" visa for up to 1 year to job hunt. Many fields — especially engineering, IT, healthcare, and hospitality — have high demand and offer clear pathways to permanent residency.
