Hi, I'm going to Japan for exchange later this year, however my current plan is that I would go to Japan first to sightsee on a temporary visit visa for about a week, then go overseas to visit family for 2 weeks before coming back to Japan to start my exchange with the student visa. Is this feasible? I just want to double check before I buy my plane tickets just incase. I'm aware of the special re-entry permit however because I will be in Japan before my semester officially starts for tourism I won't have a residence card so I can't apply for one.
