三、Guide for successful applicants (Visas etc.)
针对申请成功的学生的指南(签证等)
1. Visa Application
Once you receive notice from us that your application has been approved by the JTW Selection Committee, it is time to start thinking of making preparations for your arrival in Japan. Kyudai’s International Student & Researcher Support Center (ISRC) will help you apply for a student visa, reserve a dormitory room, and arrange pick-up service at the airport. This is all done online. Look for email from the Center, informing you about how to proceed. You will be given a website address, log-in ID, and password. You need to complete the application online with your ID and password.
You will receive from us, by early September(for Semester1) or by early March (for Semester 2), your Certificate of Eligibility. With this in hand, you should apply directly and immediately for a “college student” visa at the Japanese embassy or consulate that serves the area where you live. Although it takes a number of weeks for us to obtain and send to you the Certificate of Eligibility, it requires only a couple of days to obtain the visa. But you should not delay in applying. Of course you will need also to present your valid passport and several passport photos when applying for the visa. We suggest you contact the embassy or consulate in early September or in early March to inquire about visa application procedures and fees, as these will vary from country to country.
Also, It will be very important for us to know how to contact you, particularly via email, should the need arise, in the weeks just before your departure, so please be sure to tell us if the email and home addresses you from your original JTW application are changed.
1.签证申请
一旦你收到项目筛选委员会的批准通知，你就可以开始考虑为去日本做准备了。九州大学国际学生与研究员支持中心负责帮助你申请签证、预留住宿和机场接送。这些都在线上完成。去看看支持中心的邮箱，了解如何进行。你还会收到网站地址、登陆账号和密码。需要使用账号和密码完成申请。你将在九月上旬(第一学期)或三月上旬(第二学期)之前收到来自学校的资格证书。持有证书，你应当立即直接到自己国家的日本使馆或领事馆申请college student(学院学生)签证。尽管学校需要许多个星期才能拿到资格证书并发送给你，但拿到签证只需几天时间。不过要及时申请，不要推迟。当然，申请签证的时候也需要出示有效护照和护照照片。学校建议你在九月上旬或三月上旬咨询日本驻华使馆或领事馆，了解申请流程和费用。
此外，学校需要知道你的联系方式，特别是在你出国前的几周。因此如果住址有变，记得告诉学校。
2.Date of arrival
You are expected to arrive in Fukuoka on the end of September (students arriving for Semester 1), or on the end of March (students arriving for Semester 2).
Staff of International Student & Researcher Support Center and/or the student tutor assigned to you will meet you at Fukuoka Airport and escort you directly to International House, the residence hall where you will live. You will be given a handbook and schedule for the next few days at that time. We ask, then, that you tell us in a timely way when and how you plan to reach Fukuoka. Your cooperation in this will be most appreciated.
2.到达日期
对于第一学期入学学生，需要在九月末到达福冈;对于第二学期入学学生，需要在三月末之前到达福冈。
国际学生与研究员支持中心的工作人员和(或)你的导师将在福冈机场接你，直接护送你到“国际之家”——你未来的学生宿舍区。届时，你将拿到手册和接下来几天的日程表。然后，学校会要求你及时告诉他们，你计划到达福冈的时间和方式。这时你的合作最会被学校看重。
3.Accommodation
As a new arrival at Kyushu University, you are guaranteed a furnished room with bathroom. Each room is fitted with a single bed, writing desk, chair, wardrobe, refrigerator, and an air conditioner/heater. Pillows, bed linen, and blankets are not supplied but can be found at reasonable prices locally when you arrive. Shopping for food and other necessities is found conveniently nearby.
In addition, internet connectivity is provided in your room, though access is fee-based and contracted with a designated service supplier.
