Move-in Process
After being approved as an exchange student at HSU, you will need to apply for a student visa. The Hiroshima Regional Immigration Services Bureau will issue a Certificate of Eligibility (COE), which will be sent to you by email. Once you receive the email, please print the COE and submit it together with your visa application documents to the Japanese embassy or consulate, and apply for your visa as soon as possible. Visa issuance usually takes about one week. Please inform the university by email as soon as your visa is issued.
After receiving your visa, you will need to book your flight and arrange to arrive in Hiroshima during the period designated by the university. Once your flight is booked, please email your itinerary to the International Affairs Center. Pickup service from Hiroshima Station to iHouse is available between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. If you will arrive after 5:00 p.m., please stay at a hotel near the airport or train station and use the pickup service the following day.
