👇 📄 Certificate of Eligibility (COE) Support by SJLS

If you’re planning to study or work in Japan, the Certificate of Eligibility (COE) is your golden ticket. Issued by the Immigration Bureau of Japan, the COE confirms that you meet the legal entry requirements for your specific visa type (e.g., student, work, dependent).

🏫 Certificate of Eligibility (COE) for Japan — Full Support by SJLS

Without a Certificate of Eligibility (COE), your Japan visa application may be delayed, rejected, or even refused submission by the Embassy.

Whether you’re applying for a Student Visa, Work Visa, or Dependent Visa, the COE is the first and most essential step before you can even apply for your visa.

At SJLS, we guide students and professionals through the entire COE process — ensuring every document is correct, complete, and accepted smoothly by the Japanese authorities.

📘 What is a COE and Why It Matters

The Certificate of Eligibility (COE) is an official document issued by the Immigration Bureau of Japan that confirms you meet the legal and personal conditions to live in Japan for long-term purposes such as:

  • 🎓 Studying at a Japanese language school or university

  • 💼 Working under a company or organization in Japan

  • ❤️ Joining a family member as a dependent or spouse

In simple terms, the COE acts as your visa pre-approval — showing that your Japanese sponsor (school, company, or family) has verified your background and supports your stay.

Who Needs a Certificate of Eligibility?

If you’re planning to stay in Japan for more than 90 days, the Certificate of Eligibility (COE) isn’t optional — it’s essential. It confirms to immigration that you meet all entry requirements for long-term stay.

Students Pursuing Education in Japan

If you”re enrolling in a Japanese language school, college, or university, the COE is your first step toward a student visa. It validates your admission and shows you’re financially and academically prepared.

Professionals Starting a Job in Japan

Got a job offer? Whether you’re in IT, engineering, teaching, or translation, you’ll need a COE to apply for a work visa. It confirms your qualifications and employer sponsorship.

Spouses & Dependents Joining Family in Japan

If you’re planning to join your spouse, parent, or a family member already in Japan, the COE proves your relationship and supports your dependent visa application.

Business Visitors on Long-Term Assignments

Traveling for extended business projects or corporate transfers? A COE is required to obtain a long-stay business visa and confirms your purpose of stay.

📝 Note:
If your stay in Japan is short-term (under 90 days), you may not need a Certificate of Eligibility (COE).
However, for long-term stays — whether for study, work, or family — a COE is mandatory before applying for a visa.

At SJLS, we make the COE process fast, accurate, and completely stress-free, ensuring your documentation is perfectly aligned with Japanese immigration standards — no matter your purpose for going to Japan.
