CoE is a document issued by Immigration Services Agency of Japan, and it’s required when applying for the Study Visa. After an international student confirms their enrollment at UF, the UF International Affairs Division (IAD) applies for their CoE on their behalf. Once it’s received, the UF IAD sends it to the student overseas. For 澳门金沙_竞彩足球比分-篮球欧洲杯投注注册推荐 information about CoE, please visit the following page.

There’re several important processes all international students must complete prior to their departure, such as vacating the residence, canceling the utility services, disposing of used items, paperwork at the city hall, and closing the bank account.
Every semester, the UF IAD provides an orientation for departing international students where the staff explains about the processes in detail.
To dispose of large items, we encourage you to check with your local municipality and follow their specific guidelines, as processes vary depending on where you live.
In Fukui-city, you have to bring your items to the designated collection sites. You may request a pick up, but there will be fees for that.
