I already tried searching google and checked the Visa wiki but couldn’t find an answer to my questions so I we decided to ask here.
I am planning on going on student exchange in 2024 to a Japanese high
School for the academic year. I would then like to go to language school in Japan in 2025. My question is, can I switch who is sponsoring my student visa (high school to language school) while in Japan or do I have to return to my home country and then apply for a new visa? I was hoping to go to high school for the full year then return home over the spring holiday to see family and friends before going back to Japan to start language school. Would this work?
If I have to return home to apply for a Visa then I will probably need to end my student exchange early around December so I should know before I’m officially signed up for the full year.

I can’t imagine you’ll have any issues. Folks quite often move from language school to university or vocational schools, so it’s not an entirely unknown process.
