I am looking to change my WHV to a Student Visa for roughly the time my visa ends, luckily it will coincide with the start of the new school year in april and i am looking to do a two year course.
I’ve seen people online saying its impossible to swap the visa while in japan and i would have to go back to the UK, but I’ve also contacted “GoGoNihon!” and they have said while it may be complicated it is possible. Has anybody had any experience in this matter who may be able to help?
I’ve tried to ring the british embassy in tokyo and that was no help neither was the mofa.go.jp website
Any help is greatly appreciated
