Additional Passports We Can Accept

Eligible Passport Holders

Studying in Japan can be very challenging for students holding certain passports. The good news is, in theory almost any country is eligible to apply for studies in Japan. The bad news is, that no Japanese language school or academic institution in Japan is fully qualified, legally capable, or specialized in accepting students from ANY COUNTRY. Meiji Academy is no exception and we have to fully oblige to Japan’s legal system. Nevertheless, Meiji Academy is actively working together with the Japan Ministry of Justice to get applications for new passport holders. In the meantime, we will continue offering students who cannot qualify for a visa with us the option to study online.
