It's already D-6! Time flies so fast! Sometimes I get excited about this and sometimes I get nervous too~ Feels complicated!
Tonight I will tell about applying student visa! Basically it's easy to get the approval if you have all the documents that they required. The most important is the Certificate of Eligibility.
That's what I thought before. Here the problem came! I have problem with passport name It's important to anyone especially Indonesian who has one word name. If you have gone to Saudi Arabia, for Umro in my case, you would get an additional name because the embassy required you to have three word name. That's the problem! The JPN Embassy won't accept that additional name because it's different with your original name.
I passed really really hectic and tired 4 days to made it clear. The embassy wanted me to ask the immigration to cancel my additional name... but the immigration couldn't do that. I got stuck for 2 days.... and hello! My flight is less than a week! Still no Visa! Fortunately, In the end the immigration gave me a kind of testimonial. I brought that letter today to the embassy and asked their kind to accept my application. God really loves me! They approved my application!!! Yeay!!!
Basically this additional name matter won't become a problem if you only apply for trip visa. It becomes a matter if you want to stay there for a long time. Because you will apply for an alien card! I really hope there won't be anymore problem in the future.
So my suggestion... if it happened to you, make new passport as soon as possible!
