Is it possible to change your student visa to work visa without graduating?

I’m currently studying to be a car mechanic in Niigata prefecture and i want to work in Japan. If it is possible what are the prosedures?

  1. In your situation no, they’re going to require you graduate and get the auto mechanic certification.

  2. You can change your visa status before physically graduating (my work started a few months before my graduation day so I did this) but I don’t know if you mean dropping out and changing it, which I’m unsure on.

  3. I was studying Japanese and I drop out coz I got a call for working. Didn’t had any issue changing the visa (had to show I quit school and new job at immigration, if I’m not wrong inside 14 days after I drop school ) but idk if is same now. Point are my case was japanese school and I had the job offer before I quit school (my school also asked for that)

  4. It is possible to change to work visa if the company is willing to hire u. But I will suggest u check with immigration first, they may ask for graduation certificate or some documents that provide by your school.

    I don’t know how long have you studied there. If it is not long…u should ask your school if it is available to drop out and work. I have heard some examples before….the immigration asked for the documents and the school refused to provide the paper document.
