So, long story short. Im a student from Amsterdam and will be going to Toyo university for a semester exchange. Here comes the catch, my current semester at my home uni ends January 31st and the exchange semester starts April 1st. I was planning on going to Japan in February and travel around until my studies start however apparently im not allowed to travel on the student visa until 2 weeks prior to the start of my studies. The university advised me to travel back to my country after my "vacation" and book a flight back and enter with the student visa, however doing this will cost me a lot of money. Is there any other way?
