Dear friends.. need some advice here.. i've been told by most language schools in Japan that as a Malaysian I can apply for for a temporary tourist visa for up to 3 months to study in Japan.
Yet when i asked an immigration officer at a Japan Embassy, I got a really shocking response to the lines of " Theres no way a Malaysian can get a visa for as long as 3 months." and "Why bother to study Japanese in Japan? Just do it in Singapore!"
I was entirely baffled by this response. Is this right? Can anyone tell me if this is a fair answer? If I have proof of Acceptance by a school and a return ticket, does the Embassy have grounds to reject me based on my nationality?
Has anyone also received this type of treatment?
Any responses kindly appreciated..
