This is to show that you are able to cover expenses while studying at ICU and is also an important document for your visa application.

Students must submit evidence that they have sufficient funds (approximately 100,000YEN per month, i.e. 1,000,000 YEN for full year participants and 300,000 YEN for Autumn term participants) for the study in order to apply for the “Certificate of Eligibility” (a necessary document for you to get a student visa). Since there are legal restrictions regarding foreign student employment in Japan, students must not include possible earnings from employment here in their budget.

This documentation should be provided in the form of one of the following (No copies are allowed):
- An official letter of award from your government or other sponsoring organization indicating the terms and amount of support.
- A certification of account balance stamped or signed by a bank official on original letterhead stationery certifying that sufficient funds, including the amount are available.
