Non-Resident Applicants
TYIS recognizes applicants living outside Japan may be unavailable for personal interviews, and the decision to relocate may be based on assurances of space and acceptance.
Therefore, TYIS will accept non-resident students on the basis of an analysis of the documents listed above and, the online test and interview.
Also, we require resident visas for those who are not of Japanese citizenship.
An applicant who is living in a foreign country that applies and is waiting for a resident visa may have the option to be added to our waiting pool.
However, if they are not able to receive the visa then they need to change their status to Leave of Absence (LOA) to secure their position on our waiting pool.

Admissions decisions are based on the following criteria;
