April 2027 intake ko lagi Japan jaana khojeko. Consultancy le N5 pass nagare pani "150 hours certificate" le huncha bhanyo. Sahi ho?
Japan language school ko lagi JLPT N5 compulsory ho ki 150 hours certificate pugcha?
Yes, both routes are accepted. Since April 2025 long-term language school applicants must show at least A1 Japanese, either by: - passing JLPT N5 (or NAT-TEST level 5, J.TEST level F 250+, etc.), or - 150+ hours of documented Japanese study from a proper institute with transcript/certificate
But schools and immigration look at the whole file. With only an hours certificate and weak interview, COE can be rejected. N5 pass is much safer.

JLPT is held twice a year, July and December. For April intake you are usually applying around Oct-Nov, so the December JLPT result comes too late for most schools. Plan the July exam if you can.
Ahh thank you. Ma December JLPT dinchu ra 150 hours certificate pani saathma rakhchu.
Also the financial sponsor documents matter a lot for Japan (sponsor income, tax clearance, bank balance certificate). Language is only one part.
