So I am very excited to go to an exchange semester in Japan next semester but I am getting a little bit nervous. I want to travel in Japan before University starts on the 1st of April so I bought my plane ticket to 10th of February instead. My university has been most kind and sent in my CoE last week (before applying to courses) and said that if it doesn't arrive in time I can always use it to apply for a visa in a different country. So basically, as long as I leave Japan for a few weeks before I start University I can apply there and enter through that. Is this true? Would I for example be able to go to South Korea or Australia for 3 weeks and apply for my student visa there in case my CoE takes 3 months?
