hi all. sorry in advance for what i’m sure is a very repetitive question.
this is my second time getting a CoE for Japan, however the first time was as an exchange student.
this time, i have a company willing to sponsor my work visa. the company is aware that i graduate and receive my degree certificate in july, but has proposed a start date of august 1st, which from experience seems like an impossible turnaround unless there’s a way to apply for the CoE before my graduation date.
is that possible? from my research i have seen that it’s possible to use a provisional degree certificate in lieu of the real thing, but it seems like this isn’t something my university will provide as i can’t find mention of it anywhere (i have gotten in touch with them, but am still awaiting a reply).
i do plan on getting in touch with the company about this, but i want to be careful and as informed as possible beforehand so as to avoid jeopardising my position with them.
if anyone has any insight, advice or has been in a similar situation, i’d appreciate hearing from you. thanks in advance!
