Required Documents
Application form, Certificate of Health, Recommendation Letter — exact list confirmed by the specific embassy/consulate covering your country.
Important Notes
Marked Pending Verification because I could not confirm the exact procedural details for South Sudan specifically (for comparison, Sudan nationals must travel to Cairo, Egypt for exams via a regionally-shared embassy arrangement — South Sudan's specific arrangement was not separately confirmed during this research, only that a defined application pathway referencing "the Japanese Embassy in South Sudan" exists). Confirm directly with the relevant Japanese embassy/consulate before relying on this listing. Sudan and South Sudan are separate countries — do not assume identical procedures.
