Guys please are there conditions that a nominated candidate can be rejected for mext? The wait is killing. Seems end of June is like December.lil. |
Re: Japanese Visa And Travelling To Japan by chaiks: 9:17pm On May 10, 2022 |
Thanks Gerrard for this update. I personally don't fancy doing a PhD in a country like Japan. It will be far more profitable in Canada or Australia because of the chances of getting PR. I have read online and you pointed it in the thread also, Japan is a homogeneous society. They hardly give citizenship to foreigners.if one can get mext scholarship for masters by his grace, na to save from stipend and relocate to Australia for phd or even vocational education after studies in Japan.

chaiks: chaiks: I personally don't fancy doing a PhD in a country like Japan Well, this is fine. I have discussed this with a Nigerian who also said the same thing. He did his master's (sponsored by MEXT) in a Japanese university and is currently in the US rounding up his PhD. He wanted to experience the US' model where PhD students tutor undergraduates as he was aiming to enter academia. In Japan, such a model does not exist (at least in STEM fields) as the PhD is research-based all through. Even the MSc programs (STEM fields) are research-based rather than taught (as it is in the UK and other countries). Japan is a homogeneous society. They hardly give citizenship to foreigners Well, the bold is true. It is largely homogenous even though a small percentage are Chinese, Koreans, Vietnamese etc. The thing about the homogeneity is that: the government categorises newly naturalised citizens as ethnic Japanese. So, a Malian, like this man, (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/13/world/asia/japan-african-university-president-sacko.html) who becomes a naturalised citizen is seen in the records as an ethnic Japanese. However, your second statement is not true as Japan remains the only developed country across the globe that issues citizenship to applicants without these applicants being permanent residents (https://www.moj.go.jp/EN/MINJI/minji78.html#:~:text=The%20general%20conditions%20for%20naturalization) . This is done in five consecutive years, all things being equal (https://m.imgur.com/gallery/tQVKL3h). Many people become citizens yearly, and moreover, there are over 5000 Nigerians residing in the country, most of whom are naturalised citizens https://japantoday.com/category/features/lifestyle/the-other-side-of-tokyos-nigerian-community. Also, there is the HSP (High skilled professional http://www.immi-moj.go.jp/newimmiact_3/en/index.html) visa (Japan's equivalent to Canada Express Entry and introduced in 2012 vs Canada's 2015) that enables applicants to become permanent residents within a shorter period of time rather than that of less than 3 years through marriage or 10 years through continuous residency. You could play your cards well and attain PR within a short period of time then citizenship or stay five consecutive years to become a naturalised citizen. Most westerners aka oyibos choose either HSP or 10 years of continuous residency as their native countries' passports are strong enough to dissuade them from acquiring Japanese citizenship. Meanwhile, Vietnamese and Chinese think otherwise. if one can get mext scholarship for masters by his grace From our previous discussion, I understand your grades are pretty high. This is because, from a LinkedIn search, most awardees of the postgraduate scholarship by MEXT have a first-class. Follow the instructions very well. Check https://medium.com/@jaynepal/mext-scholarship-my-experience-and-suggestions-ffa6cb671902 and https://www.transenzjapan.com/blog/how-to-maximize-your-chances-of-earning-the-mext-scholarship/ Best wishes! 2 Likes 1 Share |

Thanks for your insightful response. It was indeed detailed. I am glad to see/know one can attain citizenship in Japan. It is something worth doing considering how strong their passport is. I have been nominated by my school for mext under the PGP program. So hopefully I pray mext grants it so that I can come to Japan this year. Can one in a non-STEM discipline switch course or get certification in any of the tech courses in Japan after masters? Gerrard59: |
Re: Japanese Visa And Travelling To Japan by chaiks: 11:16am On May 11, 2022 |
Also, do one need to renounce his former citizenship after staying for five years so as to obtain Japanese passport or do they allow dual citizenship? Gerrard59: 1 Like |
Re: Japanese Visa And Travelling To Japan by Gerrard59(m): 11:54am On May 11, 2022 |
chaiks: Yes, just as it's done everywhere in the world. Congrats on your nomination. Hopefully you get it. You have toiled for this. 1 Like |
Re: Japanese Visa And Travelling To Japan by Gerrard59(m): 12:01pm On May 11, 2022 |
chaiks: Officially, Japan doesn't allow dual nationalities. It has been a thorny issue in recent years especially with the declining birth rate/population, rise of "Hafus" (children from one Japanese parent and a foreign parent) etc. However, there's a "don't ask, don't tell" process. When leaving Japan to Nigeria, you use the Nigerian passport. When entering Japan, you use the Japanese passport. No one ask you, and you tell no one. When applying for naturalisation, you will be given a form to fill that you have renounced your other citizenship(s), however, there's no follow up to ascertain if you did it unlike Singapore. Another thing to consider is that as a Nigerian, in the constitution, it's only the president that can approve your renunciation of Nigerian citizenship. So, technically, you are a dual national. However, stay within the "don't ask, don't tell" process. 3 Likes |

Good evening, please I want to apply for MEXT scholarship (COT), I am currently a 400lv student of Unilag so I want to ask if I should state it there that I am a student or it will Hinder my chances. 1 Like |
Re: Japanese Visa And Travelling To Japan by Gerrard59(m): 12:04pm On May 14, 2022 |
neutronay: Rather than apply, I strongly advise you to wait until graduation. However, if you insist, you will have to provide documents proving you will graduate before April 2023. Also, you will have to provide your transcripts showing your present CGPA points. If you can do both, go ahead. |
Re: Japanese Visa And Travelling To Japan by chibiokoye: 12:38pm On May 14, 2022 |
Gerrard59:He wants to apply for the College of Technology category meaning he'll use secondary school transcript |
Re: Japanese Visa And Travelling To Japan by neutronay: 1:26pm On May 14, 2022 |
Gerrard59: Getting both will take time, I was only thinking it might be added advantage but I think I will just use my secondary school transcript. |
Re: Japanese Visa And Travelling To Japan by neutronay: 1:37pm On May 14, 2022 |
chibiokoye: Exactly but there's a place to fill if you are in University and I should have graduated last year November but Strike shifted it to September 2022, Obviously that's not possible anymore so I think I'll just use my secondary School transcript. |
Re: Japanese Visa And Travelling To Japan by neutronay: 2:49pm On May 14, 2022 |
Please the high school transcript is it SS1 to SS3 or junior school is required? |
Re: Japanese Visa And Travelling To Japan by Gerrard59(m): 6:43am On May 15, 2022 |
chibiokoye: Oh! I see. I have no idea how that category works. Neutronay: you do what you believe is right. neutronay: Was this not stated in the guidelines or instructions? If no or it was not stated clearly, call the embassy in Nigeria from 9am (Nigerian time) on Monday. Keep calling until you speak to a representative. Don't rely on the "make a voice note" stuff, no one will reply you. 3 Likes |

Good day friends Is there a mext scholarship or scholarship of any kind for a person who intends to go to Japan for masters in business administration? |

Guys has anyone received feedback from the Embassy for the MEXT SCHOLARSHIP? according to them they said end of July I have not heard anything from anyone for this year concerning the selection |
Re: Japanese Visa And Travelling To Japan by blackbriar: 8:28am On Aug 02, 2022 |
trinityconcept: It is best to call the Embassy. |
Re: Japanese Visa And Travelling To Japan by Gerrard59(m): 11:59am On Aug 04, 2022 |
trinityconcept: The embassy only contacts successful candidates. If you have not been contacted, consider it failed. Alternatively, apply to university-recommended MEXT scholarship programs, they have fewer competitors. |
Re: Japanese Visa And Travelling To Japan by Gerrard59(m): 12:01pm On Aug 04, 2022 |
ubom123: Yes, but have you written the GMAT? IELTS? Because you need to pursue both admissions into the business school and MEXT scholarship concurrently. |
