Need Help - 01-11-2008, 05:36 AM

Hi, I am from Malaysia and would like to live in Tokyo or Shizuka, I have to obtain visa to get into Japan but only limited to travel visa (15days max)

Possible for me to enroll to a language school and obtain a longer visa? I am 34yrs now, am I bit old for language school?

Thank you

I don't know what treaties Malaysia and Japan have, but, yes, that would be correct.

Hi I used to be in Kuala lumpur before coming here. They are very strict for all foreigners. I think you can apply some teaching job so they can sponsor you long stay visa.If you have a friend here it might helps. Tourist Visa maximum 90 days..
