About the JoynOne Custom Visa Programme
The JoynOne Custom Visa Programme is for people who want to apply for a Japan visa but don’t want to risk delays, missing documents, or getting lost in confusing requirements. It works across multiple routes (Artist, Entertainer, etc) because the core challenge is always the same: building a clean, complete application package and following the correct process in the correct order.
We support you by confirming what route is realistic for your situation, translating the document requirements into clear steps, checking your materials for gaps or red flags, and coordinating with the relevant parties (such as schools, employers, sponsors, or partners). The goal is simple: you move forward with a clear plan and a visa file that’s ready to submit with confidence.

Our Customer Reviews
Hear from people who’ve already started their Japan Working Holiday with JoynOne by their side.
I was googling visas at 2am and had no idea where to start, I just knew I wanted to get to Japan as soon as possible. With the Japan Route Assessment, JoynOne looked at my situation and explained that a Japanese language school Student Visa was actually my fastest and most realistic way in. Three months later I was already in Tokyo, going to class and living in a share house they helped me find. Now I’m studying Japanese every day and working with JoynOne to plan what to do after my course finishes.
Lucas D.
I always wanted to study Japanese in Japan but had no idea how visas, schools, or life there actually worked. JoynOne helped me choose a language school that fit my budget, explained the whole process in simple English, and supported me with housing and city hall stuff when I arrived. I came with basically zero Japanese knowledge and didn’t have a meltdown at the ward office or bank because they were there to guide me.
Sara M.
As a first-time student living abroad, I was more scared of paperwork and life admin than of kanji. JoynOne showed me step by step how to register my address, get health insurance, open a bank account, and sort a phone plan. My language school is great, but they’re busy; JoynOne is the one I message when I’m confused or get letters in Japanese. It honestly feels like having a big sibling in Japan.
Khoa F.
I knew I wanted to study in Tokyo, but the idea of moving alone overseas was terrifying. Through JoynOne I moved into a foreigner-friendly share house near my school, and they explained the neighbourhood, trains, and even where to buy cheap groceries. After a few weeks I felt like I actually lived here, not just staying temporarily.
Emily T.
I was so impatient—I didn’t want some vague 5-year plan, I wanted to know how I could move to Japan this year. When I did the Japan Route Assessment, JoynOne broke it down very clearly and showed me why the Student Visa route via language school was the quickest realistic entry for me, compared to work or other visas. I followed their suggestions, got into a school, and now I’m in Tokyo studying Japanese, making friends and slowly figuring out my long-term options together with them.
Mei P.
Before finding JoynOne, I felt completely stuck. I wanted to move to Japan immediately but every visa option I read about felt impossible. In the Japan Route Assessment, they looked at my age, education and savings and explained that a Japanese language school Student Visa was my best fast-track into the country. That gave me so much relief. I’m now in Japan, going to language school, doing a small part-time job, and having regular check-ins with JoynOne about how I can extend my stay later through work or other visa options. I finally feel like I’m moving forward instead of just dreaming.

Who is the JoynOne Student Visa Programme for?
This programme is for people who want to come to Japan to study Japanese full-time at a Japanese language school, and use that time to build a foundation for future work or a longer stay in Japan. It’s especially helpful if you’re serious about moving to Japan but don’t know where to start or which school to choose, and you don’t want to handle all the life setup alone.
Do I need to know Japanese already?
No, not necessarily.
Many Japanese language schools accept beginners with little or no Japanese, while some ask for a small amount of prior study. We’ll help you choose a school that matches your current level and goals, and give you simple prep resources so you don’t feel totally lost on your first day.
How long can I study at a Japanese language school on a Student Visa?
For Japanese language schools, students can usually study for up to around 2 years in total on a Student Visa. The exact length depends on the school and your course (for example, 1 year, 1.5 years, or 2 years). If you want to stay longer in Japan after language school, that usually means switching to another status (like vocational school, university, work, etc.), which we can discuss with you as you progress.
What if I’m not eligible for a Student Visa?
If a language school Student Visa is not realistic for you (for example, because of finances, documents, or other factors), it doesn’t mean Japan is impossible. There may be other routes such as:
Working Holiday (if your age and nationality fit)
Digital Nomad (if you meet the income and remote-work requirements)
Work Visa (if your career profile is strong enough)
Our Japan Route Assessment is designed to show you which 1–2 routes are realistic for your situation, not just student.
How do I start with JoynOne?
We keep it very simple:
Step 1 – Japan Route Assessment (Stage 1)
First, you take our paid Japan Route Assessment. We analyse your profile and tell you whether a Student Visa via Japanese language school is a good, realistic, and fast route for you.Step 2 – Join the JoynOne Student Visa Programme (if eligible)
If we confirm that the Student Visa path fits your situation, you’ll be invited to join the JoynOne Student Visa Programme, where we help with school selection, document preparation support, and planning your life setup in Japan.Step 3 – Arrive in Japan and start your new life
Once your visa is approved and you arrive in Japan, we support you with housing, city hall, phone, banking alternatives, and everyday life, so you can focus on studying and planning your future in Japan.
