留学资格包括哪些?

留学(留学)资格适用于在日本的大学、高等专门学校、高中、初中、小学、专修学校、各种学校或同等机构接受教育。在留期间个别指定,最长 4 年 3 个月。

在日语教育机构的就读期间通常最长 2 年。申请者的日语须至少达到 A1,并通过考试或面试确认。

对于 2026-10 起入学的留学生的在留资格认定证明书申请,以及 2026-07-01 起提交的变更、延长申请,学习日语 150 小时以上的记录不再能证明 A1;必须提供考试证书或接受面试。

留学生每周可以工作多少小时?

留学生在从事有偿工作前,须先取得资格外活动许可。持有概括许可的留学生,每周最多可工作 28 小时,学校长假期间每天最多 8 小时。

28 小时按任意连续 7 天来计算,而不是按周一到周日的日历周。以自由职业者身份或按工时无法客观确认的合同工作的留学生,需要个别许可。

不能获准在风俗营业场所工作。许可只在在校期间有效,因此毕业后如果不在任何学校就读,就不能打工。自 2026-10-01 起,与家族滞在不同,留学生不在柏青哥场所新许可的适用范围内。

超出限制会怎样?

无许可工作,可处最高 1 年监禁、最高 2,000,000 日元罚款,或两者并罚。明显以未获许可的营利活动为主的,适用更重的条款,最高 3 年监禁、最高 3,000,000 日元罚款,或两者并罚。

无正当理由连续 3 个月以上不从事与资格相符的活动,在留资格可能被取消。出入国在留管理厅举出的正当理由例子包括:学校关闭且入学手续正在办理,或长期住院且有返校计划。

退学或被开除后无正当理由继续停留,在续签或变更时会被不利考虑。截至 2025-06,日语教育机构须在次月月底前向出入国在留管理局报告月出勤率低于 50% 的学生。

资金、延长和费用

留学申请人须有足够的资产、奖学金或其他手段负担生活费,由他人负担的除外。不允许全部学费和生活费都靠打工解决。在 JASSO 的 FY2023 私费留学生调查中,月平均支出为 170,000 日元。

在留期间为 6 个月以上的,可在期满前 3 个月起申请延长。期满前提出申请但到期时尚未作出决定的,可以继续以原资格停留,直到作出决定或期满后 2 个月为止,以先到者为准。

自 2026-10-01 起,变更在留资格和延长在留期间的手续费取决于获批的停留期间:窗口办理 1 年为 33,000 日元,超过 1 年不满 3 年为 48,000 日元。2026-10-01 以前受理的申请仍按旧的统一标准 6,000 日元缴纳。

毕业后:求职与变更为工作资格

大学、专修学校高度课程或职业专门学校(授予专业称号)毕业后继续求职、在留记录良好并获得学校推荐的人,可以变更为特定活动,期间 6 个月,可续签 1 次,毕业后最长 1 年。

希望四月开始工作的留学生,请在 12-01 至 01-31(月-日)之间提交变更在留资格申请。自 2025-12-01 起,从日本大学毕业并变更为技术·人文知识·国际业务或研究资格的学生,可以省略部分材料。

已获得录用内定的毕业生,如果入职时间在内定后 1 年内且在毕业后 1 年 6 个月内,并满足其他条件,可以变更为特定活动。从日本大学毕业且已确定研究生院入学的人,如果在毕业后 1 年内入学,也可以变更为等待入学的特定活动。

申请:谁来提交,要多久

就读日语教育机构的留学生,其在留资格认定证明书申请通常由该机构代为提交。不能邮寄,但可以在线提交,不收费,证书自签发起 3 个月内有效。

标准办理期间:认定证明书 1 至 3 个月,变更在留资格 1 至 2 个月,延长在留期间 2 周至 1 个月。

  • Freelance or self-employed work can fall under the comprehensive permit only when the working hours can be objectively verified, for example a delivery order taken as an individual contractor and paid by results.
  • The agency says the length of stay is decided by factors that differ by status but generally rest on whether notification duties were met, whether taxes and public charges were paid, and the size of the sponsoring institution.
  • For a five-year period the agency also looks at school attendance of children of compulsory-education age and at the main earner's tax compliance for residence-type statuses, and where five years is not given it decides three years, one year or similar from the planned stay and the person's record.
  • A person granted a stay of three months or less falls outside the group of mid- to long-term residents, the group that carries the residence-card and notification duties.

  • For certificate-of-eligibility applications for students entering from October 2026, and for change-of-status or renewal applications filed from 1 July 2026, a record of 150 or more hours of Japanese study no longer proves A1 ability; an exam certificate or an interview is mandatory.
  • Students entering universities (including graduate schools, excluding Japanese-language divisions) or technical colleges from FY2027 must prove Japanese ability at CEFR-based B2 level of the Japanese Language Reference Framework.
