If there is anything you need assistance before New Year’s Holidays, please contact the International Affairs Office by Friday, December 22 if possible.

In addition to Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, the University Office will be completely closed during the New Year’s Holidays, from Friday, December 29, 2023, to Wednesday, January 3, 2024.
During this time, we’ll be unable to respond to phone calls or emails. If there is anything you need assistance with, please contact us on weekdays before or after the closure period mentioned above. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

For the same reason, the Immigration Bureau of Japan will also be closed from Friday, December 29, to Wednesday, January 3. No applications will be accepted during the holidays. Please check the validity of your current period of stay on your Residence Card and make sure it doesn’t expire in December or January. If you apply after the period of stay has expired, your application may be rejected and, in the worst-case scenario, you might be deported to your country.
