What is a working holiday?
Reference: Ministry of Foreign Affairs - "Working holiday | Ministry of Foreign Affairs" (2019-12-03)
The working holiday system is an agreement between countries that issues visas to young people to facilitate travel and work.
In most cases, the visa provides for a stay of 1 year, and visa holders are allowed to go sightseeing, work, and study.
There are many different ways to use the visa. Some spend their time traveling throughout Japan. Some study Japanese for half a year and then either work full-time or have a part-time job while studying. There's actually quite a bit of freedom on the working holiday visa.
How is it different from other visas?
While a regular student visa places limits on the amount of time you are allowed to work, or a working visa may have a high barrier to entry, the working holiday visa has no such limits.
While the working holiday visa can enable you to have a wide variety of experiences, you may only obtain one working holiday visa per country. Also, in most cases you must be between 18 to 30 years old, and you can only have one year.
Though the working holiday visa has these sorts of limits, it is a very important visa for young people full of ambition. That's why it's recommended to know exactly when and where you will go, and what you plan to do.
What other countries do people come to Japan from?
Starting in 1980 with Australia and continuing to 2019 when Lithuania was added, Japan has a working holiday agreement with 23 countries. The number of visas issued is increasing every year, with 13,958 working holiday visas issued in 2016, 15,521 issued in 2017, and 17,730 issued in 2018.
Once you've secured the privilege to travel to another country, the hardest part is finding a place to stay! You might run into all sorts of snags:
- Initial payments are confusing and expensive
- Real estate agents may not speak your language
- Agencies may be hesitant to rent to foreigners
- Agencies are not willing to rent short-term
- You want to be able to move in as soon as you arrive, so you won't have time to see the place in advance
- It might be hard to meet people
That's why we recommend a share house!
