Is it possible to get a 2-year student visa at a Japanese language school with N1?

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to move to Japan and I’m considering enrolling in a Japanese language school to obtain a student visa. However, I already have the JLPT N1.

I understand that it depends on the school and whether they offer advanced-level courses, but in general, if you already have the N1 certificate, can your application be rejected?

I’ve heard that most language schools primarily accept students at lower levels of Japanese, and I’m wondering if having N2 or N1 could be an issue when applying for a 2-year student visa through a language school.

Would schools still accept someone at this level, or would immigration reject the visa application if they consider my Japanese proficiency too high? Are there any specific schools that might accept students at an advanced level for further refinement or business Japanese courses?

Any insights or experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
