MEXT Research Student and Visa Question

[shigasumi]

Hi, everyone!

I've just acquired a visa in y embassy for my 2-year stay as as Research Student in Japanese university (MEXT program). But confusingly, my visa is marked as Single Entry visa, so I've got a question - anyone knows, how you can, like, return to your country (for a week, for example) to visit parents etc. while actually remaining a Research Student? There must be some procedure for this, right?

Thanks!

You have to apply for a re-entry permit from your local Immigration Bureau in Japan.
