Im currently applying for a student visa to study japanese in Tokyo.
I was aware they ask for a proof of funds which i’m okay with but aside from sending my bank transactions from the last 3 months they ask for a deposit certificate, which would be frozen money in my own bank account for the next three months while the visa process is ongoing.
On top of having this money frozen they told me the ammount should be 2,000,000 YUAN which is 28,000USD.
I find this very odd maybe it’s a mistake?
If anybody knows if asking that much as proof of funds and having your money frozen for such period is part the normal process?
