Important Reminder
◦ When you graduate, complete a program, drop out or are removed from the university, then except in the event that you enter another university or get a full-time work in Japan, you may not stay in Japan with a Student residence status even if your length of stay has not expired. Please change your residence status or leave Japan as soon as possible. Kanazawa University reports to the Immigration Office a list of all international students who graduated, completed their program, dropped out, or were removed from the university. Even if you are not directly told by the immigration bureau that your student visa is now invalid, it will be regarded as your visa being invalid and you will be judged that you have postponed your departure from Japan.
◦ It takes a long time to update both your passport and visa if the passport update period is close to the visa update period. Please update your passport early.
◦ If students have a period of absence from the university（unregistered semester/year）, there may be cases in which an extension of their period of residence is not approved. Please see your student affairs section for details.
