Besides which, students who wish to study in Japan don't have to pass a language proficiency test such as the TOEFL test required for studying in the U.S., so many of them apply for a student visa even though they have no foundation in the language at all.
另一方面，留日學生不須通過類似留美的托福語言測驗，外國學生完全沒有語言基礎亦可直接申請學生簽證。
