Hello! I have come to Japan on a working holiday visa from Australia. The initial visa is 6 months, but as an Australian I can extend it by 6 months twice. I am currently working part time at an eikaiwa, but will be going full time in April – this is the reason for my worry. The first time l apply to extend my visa will be in March when I am still working part time, so when filling out the “purpose of staying in detail and method of support” there should be no issue as I can say I’m working part time to supplement my funds. However, the second time I extend my visa I will be working full time – the reason is because apart from work i AM treating this trip like a holiday, and am spending a lot more than I am earning as a part time worker. A full time wage in Japan is better supplementing the money I am spending travelling etc., and I want to avoid changing my residency status to working visa so that I have the freedom to quit etc and still enjoyy time in the countrv.
When filling out the “purpose of staying in detail an‹ method of support” how detailed must this be?? Can I just write that l have my savings & a job at an eikaiwa to support myself (this is still the truth)? Is it okay to not disclose that it’s a full time position in the application? I fear being full time will ruin my chances at the second renewal so if possible don’t want to mention it.
Could someone please offer some advice or info regarding my concern?
