However, under certain circumstances, letters are requested. Here are some examples: the applicant’s family resides in Japan and a record of entry is requested, or a student needs a document to verify that he/she is studying Japanese. In these situations, please request a letter of acceptance. However, the request may be rejected if your purpose for entry is vague.
