Starting next month, my language school wants us to submit our bank statement on the first of every month. Not just my Japanese bank account, but also for ALL bank account in my home country.
They say that the 入国管理局 checks these to determine whether we have the financial means to fund our stay. But I have enough time left on my visa to complete my study (so I don't need any more extension), and I don't see why they would need this information. Is this something that I'm legally obligated to submit? Something just feels off about this.
Edit: Another reason why I'm hesitant to give them this info is because a staff revealed to me that they run these documents through ChatGPT to translate before submitting them.
