I had some questions about applying for the working holiday visa as well as a couple things about after getting to Japan that I failed to find specific answers to online.
First is about the as stated on the website (for Canada) "Return airline ticket or flight itinerary to Japan; Add an additional C$1,000 if you are unable to provide your ticket. The flight itinerary is required even though you have the additional C$1,000." I was wondering if anyone knows what airline(s) I would be able to get the flight itinerary as I don't want to book a flight before I get the visa. Or other ways to get one as I get a lot of different answers when I look into it online so I'm really confused, or if it would be easier to just get a refundable return ticket. Also if they want the return flight to be booked at the 6 month (180) days point that I would have to extend the visa at in japan as I don't think I can book a flight a full year ahead.
I also have questions about the extending the visa at the 6 month point in Japan, I was wondering if there was a lot of paperwork like there was in applying for the visa or if it was much simpler as I have not really seen it talked about much.
Lastly I have a question about the registration card within 14 days of arriving in Japan, I originally wanted to travel a lot for the first month or so staying in air bnb's or hostels so I can stay somewhere a couple days at a time, to see where I would like to spend a couple months at working a job for 3ish months before repeating this process, but do I instead need to find a more permanent residence (sharehouse) within the first 14 days to register my gaijin card.
I think that's all the questions I have regarding the working holiday visa as everything else I was able to find answers to online or elsewhere on this subreddit.
