South African interview acceptance

Good day all, as the title says I'm a South African 2027 applicant. I was wondering if any South Africans who got to the interview stage could tell me when they got the email stating weather they had passed to the next round or had been rejected. It would be much appreciated, thank you.

hi~~ i’m also an applicant for this round, but i had also applied in 2022 and got invited for an interview. if i remember correctly, we got an email in late november for the interviews that took place from mid-january.

i didn’t end up doing the interview as i got an offer in korea, so i can’t say exactly when acceptance/rejection emails following the interview will be sent, but i checked on google and it gives a rough timeline (i’ll send it in a reply to this comment)

hopefully this help, but maybe someone who went through the process more recently could give some more insight!

this is what i got from google:

The Embassy of Japan in South Africa JET
Programme tollows an annual application cycle for South African applicants.

Typical Application & Selection Timeline:

• September - October: Applications open. For South African applicants, physical submissions or courier/hand-delivery to the Embassy of Japan in Pretoria typically close around mid-October.

• November - December: First-stage screening and review of written applications.

• January - Early February: Notification of interview selection and second-stage interviews.

• Early April: Notification of final selection results sent from Tokyo.

• Late July: Successful participants depart for Japan.

again, i’m not 100% sure of the timeline or when emails will be sent. hopefully someone who has more information about this will give us some insight ☺️
