Ditinjau pada 2026-10-26

Apa saja yang tercakup status Pelajar?

Status Pelajar (留学) mencakup pendidikan di universitas, kolese teknik, SMA, SMP, SD, sekolah pelatihan khusus, sekolah ragam, atau lembaga setara di Jepang. Masa tinggal ditetapkan secara individual, maksimal 4 tahun 3 bulan.

Pendaftaran di lembaga pendidikan bahasa Jepang biasanya dibatasi maksimal 2 tahun. Pelamar ke lembaga ini membutuhkan bahasa Jepang minimal A1, dipastikan lewat ujian atau wawancara.

Untuk sertifikat kelayakan bagi pelajar yang masuk mulai 2026-10, dan permohonan perubahan status atau perpanjangan yang diajukan mulai 2026-07-01, catatan belajar bahasa Jepang 150 jam atau lebih tidak lagi membuktikan A1; sertifikat ujian atau wawancara wajib.

Berapa jam pelajar boleh bekerja?

Pelajar memerlukan izin kegiatan di luar status sebelum bekerja dengan bayaran. Dengan izin umum, pelajar boleh bekerja sampai 28 jam seminggu, dan sampai 8 jam sehari selama libur panjang sekolah.

28 jam diuji dalam sembarang rentang 7 hari, bukan minggu Senin sampai Minggu. Pelajar yang bekerja sebagai freelancer atau dengan kontrak yang jam kerjanya tidak dapat diverifikasi secara objektif memerlukan izin individual.

Bekerja di tempat hiburan dewasa tidak dapat diizinkan. Izin hanya berlaku selama pelajar terdaftar, sehingga kerja paruh waktu tidak diperbolehkan setelah lulus jika tidak terdaftar di mana pun. Mulai 2026-10-01 pelajar, berbeda dengan tanggungan, dikecualikan dari izin baru untuk tempat pachinko.

Apa yang terjadi jika batas dilanggar?

Bekerja tanpa izin dapat dipidana penjara maksimal 1 tahun, denda maksimal 2,000,000 yen, atau keduanya. Jika jelas terutama melakukan kegiatan mencari penghasilan yang tidak diizinkan, berlaku ketentuan yang lebih berat, penjara maksimal 3 tahun, denda maksimal 3,000,000 yen, atau keduanya.

Status tinggal dapat dicabut jika pemegangnya tidak menjalankan kegiatan status selama 3 bulan atau lebih berturut-turut, kecuali ada alasan yang sah. Badan Layanan Imigrasi memberi contoh seperti sekolah ditutup dan prosedur masuk sedang berjalan, atau dirawat lama di rumah sakit dengan rencana kembali.

Pelajar yang putus sekolah atau dikeluarkan dan tetap tinggal tanpa alasan yang sah dinilai merugikan saat perpanjangan atau perubahan status. Per 2025-06, lembaga pendidikan bahasa Jepang harus melaporkan pelajar dengan kehadiran bulanan di bawah 50% kepada kantor imigrasi paling lambat akhir bulan berikutnya.

Dana, perpanjangan, dan biaya

Pemohon status Pelajar harus memiliki aset, beasiswa, atau sarana lain yang cukup untuk biaya hidup, kecuali orang lain yang membayarnya. Menutup seluruh biaya kuliah dan hidup lewat kerja paruh waktu tidak diperbolehkan. Dalam survei JASSO FY2023 tentang pelajar asing yang dibiayai sendiri, rata-rata pengeluaran bulanan adalah 170,000 yen.

Perpanjangan dapat diajukan mulai 3 bulan sebelum masa tinggal berakhir, untuk masa tinggal 6 bulan atau lebih. Jika diajukan sebelum berakhir dan belum diputuskan saat itu, status sebelumnya dapat dipertahankan sampai keputusan atau sampai 2 bulan setelah berakhir, mana yang lebih dulu.

Mulai 2026-10-01, biaya perubahan status dan perpanjangan bergantung pada lamanya masa tinggal yang diberikan: di loket 33,000 yen untuk 1 tahun dan 48,000 yen untuk lebih dari 1 tahun sampai kurang dari 3 tahun. Permohonan yang diterima sebelum 2026-10-01 membayar tarif tetap lama 6,000 yen.

Setelah lulus: mencari kerja dan beralih ke status kerja

Lulusan universitas, kursus lanjutan sekolah khusus, atau sekolah kejuruan (dengan gelar profesional) yang terus mencari kerja, punya catatan tinggal yang bersih, dan rekomendasi dari sekolah dapat beralih ke Designated Activities selama 6 bulan dan memperpanjang sekali, hingga 1 tahun setelah lulus.

Pelajar yang ingin mulai bekerja pada April diminta mengajukan perubahan status antara 12-01 dan 01-31 (bulan-hari). Sejak 2025-12-01, pelajar lulusan universitas Jepang yang beralih ke Engineer/Specialist in Humanities/International Services atau Researcher dapat menghilangkan sebagian dokumen.

Lulusan yang mendapat tawaran kerja dapat beralih ke Designated Activities jika pekerjaan dimulai dalam 1 tahun sejak tawaran dan dalam 1 tahun 6 bulan setelah lulus, di antara syarat lainnya. Lulusan universitas Jepang yang sudah punya tempat di sekolah pascasarjana dapat beralih ke Designated Activities untuk menunggu, jika masuk dalam 1 tahun setelah lulus.

Mengajukan: siapa yang mengajukan dan berapa lama

Untuk pelajar di lembaga pendidikan bahasa Jepang, permohonan sertifikat kelayakan biasanya diajukan oleh lembaga itu atas nama pelajar. Tidak dapat dikirim lewat pos tetapi dapat diajukan daring, gratis, dan sertifikatnya berlaku 3 bulan sejak diterbitkan.

Waktu proses standar adalah 1 sampai 3 bulan untuk sertifikat, 1 sampai 2 bulan untuk perubahan status, dan 2 minggu sampai 1 bulan untuk perpanjangan.
