New Jordans Understanding The Conditions Of A Japan Working
you want to travel abroad, experience new things, and have a great time, but don't just want to go backpacking, because you don't have enough cash - sounds like a Working holiday is perfect for you!
Japan's Working holiday program enables youths from a number of foreign countries between the age of 18-30 to travel to Japan for up to 12 months (18 months for Australians!), to work / play / and experience the country.
The amount of time you're actually allowed to work is vague: at the time of application, you must declare that you are traveling to Japan primarily as a vacation, but with the intention to work along the way to supplement your travel funds. Some officials will tell you you're allowed to work approximately 20-28 hours per week. Others tell you that working full-time up to 3-4 months of your total stay is ok. But most interesting is that the declaration of your plans you make at the time of Visa application is in no way binding, so you're permitted to change your plans at any time.
Basically, this means that many foreigners get the Visa and come to Japan "with the intention to travel Jordan 2011, and maybe work", but then enter full-time teaching jobs for the entire 12 months of their stay. Even though they didn't declare their intention to work full-time when they applied for their Visa, they're still allowed to do so. Why? There are 2 reasons.
Firstly, as mentioned before, according to the Japanese consulate themselves, you're permitted to change your plans at any time during your stay - therefore, your original intention to travel around Japan is not binding at all, and you are free to work if you wish (although there are limits to what kind of jobs you can do. ie. You can't work in the "entertainment" industry, etc... you can find out more from your local Japanese consulate).
Secondly, the consulate may tell you at the time of your Visa application that you can "only work up to 28 hours per week", but in fact once you arrive, they don't mind at all how much you work. As one consulate official told me, "they don't check that sort of thing"... as you can imagine, I was a little confused. You would expect the consulate to give you a straight answer, but when I asked if it's ok to go over with a Working holiday visa New Jordans, and work full-time, she told me it was fine. Which is why there are thousands of foreigners in Japan right now, working full-time in English schools on Working holiday visas... just like I did! And every 6 months, when I went to the immigration office to extend my visa, and told them I was working full-time in an English school New Jordans 2012, and wanted to continue, they smiled, extended the visa, and waved me goodbye!
So if you're thinking about applying for a Japanese Working holiday visa, and are confused about the conditions, just remember you're permitted to change your plans any time, and it'll make your application a lot easier.
