TMDU could act as proxy for a “Certificate of Eligibility (COE)” at the Japanese Immigration Bureau upon request. The Foreign Student Support Unit will inform new students of the necessary steps to obtain their student visa.
 

NOTE: TMDU will not apply on your behalf for a COE regarding visa status other than “Student.”
