online degree

I m doing an online / distance (correepondence)education course from a university which is recognizes but it is open university.. It means I don’t have to go to university to study they will give me materials and i have to study on my own..
Will there be any problems in immigration??

  1. As long as your online degree is from an accredited university, it’s ok with immigration. The problem is that it is tricky to determine if an online university is considered legit by immigration (since Japanese Immigration doesn’t publish their secret list of “accredited” bachelor’s programs).

    For US universities, accreditation is [complex](https://educationusa.state.gov/understanding-us-accreditation) and counter-intuitive. That is, state accredited universities are generally fine but online schools claiming to be “nationally” accredited are often very dubious. Check US online universities against this list of [accredited schools](https://ope.ed.gov/dapip/#/home).

    As always, search and read past threads about online schools and accreditation: https://www.reddit.com/r/movingtojapan/search?q=online+degree+accreditation+&restrict_sr=on&include_over_18=on&sort=relevance&t=all
