hi, i am an italian exchange student in shanghai.

Question

I planned to visit Japan from 21st to 29th of June. As my visa is an X2 one, I am not able to come back to Shanghai (I already extended my X2 type for one entry more and now can't do it again). They told me that the only way to come back should be to apply for a new Chinese visa while I am in Japan.I would like to know:- where should I go to apply for a new visa (Tokyo and Kyoto possibly);- how long should it take;- how much should it be (I just have to stay in China 2 days and then I have the flight back to Italy, already booked);- which documents I need to bring with me;- as my passport should be changed, how can I travel around Japan without it.Thanks in advance and best regardsLuca Bozzini

Dear, usually, you should make the application from the CVASC in Tokyo and it takes 4 working days to get the result. You need to provide passport and copy of its data page, a completed application form, a passport-style photo, the admission letter and JW form from the school, as well as valid stay permit in Japan. However, recently, it is said that temporary visitor cannot make the application in Japan. If possible, you are not advised to do that in case that you won’t be able to get student X2 type from Japan.

Luca, first, prepare your passport and copy of its data page, a completed application form, a passport-style photo, the flight itinerary and accommodation arrangement. Next, submit the application to the CVASC.
