Hi guys, I'm having some trouble and wondered if anyone has had the same issue or found a solution.
My university provides a year abroad in Japan and so right now I'm supposed to be in the process of applying for Visas and flights and such. However my university made a bunch of annoying errors and delayed the process for multiple months and I haven't been able to book flights or get my Visa yet.
I finally got to the Visa application step but there's no appointments before September 4th on the Japanese Embassy in the UK website. Ok, it's not too bad yet, there's an email address for Certificate of Eligibility holders to use to get an appointment last minute. I wrote out an email as soon as I could… but immediately got a reply saying "this email address does not exist". The address is [postalvisa@ld.mofa.go.jp](mailto:postalvisa@ld.mofa.go.jp) (I hope it doesn't matter that I've attached this, since it's available for anyone on the Japan Embassy website, and doesn't seem to be working anyway). I've found an email address for inquiries that SEEMS to be working, and I think they'll be able to help.
In the meantime though, I'm a little stressed (happens to have become a recurring theme recently) and so I came here to ask if anyone has been through the same thing, if you managed to solve the problem, if it would be better to call directly or turn up in person to get the problem solved, etc etc. Seriously, if anyone has advice, it would be a massive help.
