I have family who I could possibly stay with to study in japan for high school. I would I go around to getting a visa and getting in to a school and all that for a year long stay?

There are several things to consider when doing this. 1. Will your current high school grant credit if you do not go through an exchange program? If not, do you care if you graduate a year late? 2. Will the Japanese high school accept you if you do not go through an exchange program? If so, will they charge tuition? 3. You need to factor in the cost of transportation to Japan. 4. Your parents health insurance may not cover you abroad. You need to check on this and purchase travel insurance if necessary. 5. Once you've looked into all of this and gotten good answers, you can apply to the Japanese embassy or consulate for a visa. Contact them for the paperwork you will need. 6. It's worth considering drawing up a contract between you and the family you stay with -- especially where it comes to finances, what you pay for and what they will. These are covered in exchange programs.
