❓️ How Should I Register My Passport Information in SpeedVisa After Renewing My Passport?

🎯 Who is this for?

• Students applying for a Certificate of Eligibility (CoE) through SpeedVisa

• Students who have renewed their passport or are planning to renew it

• International students whose passport validity is expiring soon

❓ Question

If I renew my passport, how should I register my passport information in SpeedVisa for my CoE application?

✅ Answer

Students applying for a CoE should prepare a passport with enough validity to cover their planned stay in Japan.
If your passport does not have sufficient validity, you may need to renew it before or during your stay in Japan.

How you register your passport information in SpeedVisa depends on your situation:
