Kansai Gaidai Exchange-NY

Hi everyone!

I recently applied to Kansai Gaidai to do the Asian Studies exchange program for spring 2026! The application process is a little confusing for me and I had a few questions, if anyone has any info and can help out it would be grealty appreciated.

I applied through UAlbany which goes through the process of nomination first THEN the submission of documents to Kansai after you are nominated. I was told that I may not find out my final result till end or late dec.

How would I go about Visa and plane tickets if I dont know if i got in? Do you think Ill find out earlier? Any help would be amazing thank you all!!
