Question about my student visa

[igranrene]

My semester is about to be over in 4 weeks ;_; and I’m planning the return to states journey right now. If I want to stay in Japan for a little while longer (a couple days) past my semester ending will it be breaking any rules? My visa expiration isn’t until next year, but I’m moving out of my dorm at the end of these 4 weeks.

Not sure how the rules are on staying past the semester end and don’t want to break any important rules. Thanks!

It's good that you don't want to break the rules. Try to clarify this question with someone who has encountered a similar situation. How is your training going? As for me, I am a very responsible and good student.

seek guidance from your school Foreign Student coordinator. They will be your best source of info.

Don't worry about that website - it's not relevant for visas. You're good to stay a few days after your semester ends as long as your visa is valid until next year. Just check with your school about any procedures for notifying them and potentially deregistering from the dorm upon move-out. They can advise and on any specific details related to your developerbook and echat student status.

Yes, as I understand it, you can stay in Japan a little longer after your semester ends as long as your visa is valid. Just make sure to inform your college about your temporary extension and arrange your accommodation accordingly.

Got my visa approved last July 1st. The visa officer only asked a couple of questions. These are what he asked me:

Why are you going to the US?

Are you a high school graduate?

Have you already enrolled in a university here as a college student?

Who is sponsoring you?

What are their jobs?
