1. Please find the GGP 2018 guideline and application form on the website of the Embassy of Japan in Sudan (https://www.sdn.emb-japan.go.jp/index.html), and read them carefully before you start preparing for the application.
2. The application forms can only be delivered by hand and only received after being reviewed and approved by the Program Coordinator for GGP.
3. You can find the sample file of the required application documents at the Embassy of Japan in order for you to conduct the self-check of the required documents.
4. Once you are confident that all the required documents and information are in your application package, please contact  Mr.Osama Abu Zied or Ms. Miho Shosenji (Program Coordinators for GGP) for him to check your application documents with you. If your application package does not have all the necessary documents, the Embassy will not receive the application package.
