Yamasa requires passport sized photographs from all applicants for legal documents, acceptance letters, student identification cards and certificates. If you are planning to do a homestay at any time during your stay, then we will also need snapshot photos (more below.)
Please do not simply scan your passport - what you need is a new photo, with a white background and
reasonably good resolution. These can be either digital (jpeg or gif files) or analog (printed photos).

If you wish to do a homestay, snapshot photos are needed for the search. Most of the Japanese families participating in the
homestay program request photos - so your chances of finding a homestay are a lot better if you provide photos than if you do
not. The photos can be anything - from family photos to portraits. The most effective photos are those that show your
personality and interests, so photos showing you doing your hobbies, sports etc are appropriate.
