Where to Get the Form

I will not send you the fillable khung or make it available here. That’s a deliberate choice.

The reason I vị not send it khổng lồ you is that you need lớn get it from the embassy or consulate where you intend to apply. Why? lớn make sure that you’re in liên hệ with them và that you’re also getting any additional information or explanations they might have. Besides, depending on when you are reading this, the form I used in the example might be outdated. (Even if the contents do not change, MEXT always changes the year numbers on the first page.) Make sure you are using the most recent version of the form!

You can tải về the form from the official Study in nhật bản website, along with the other application documents & the application guidelines.
