Hello guys, I am doing an exchange program in Tokyo and my student ID will expire at the end of September. I am wondering how long can I stay in Japan after the end of my exchange program and if it is possible for me to stay until the end of the year? The duration given on my residence card is one year. Many thanks.

Until your visa expires.
You need to inform immigration within two weeks of leaving your school (and your school also needs to inform immigration that you’ve left).
As the purpose of your visa (to study) would no longer apply, you are obligated to either change your status or leave.
