Hello!
So me and my friend are currently in a pickle.
We were working for a company that would said would give us a permit and then now at the end of February did we get dropped the bomb of the nightmare that is to change a Working Holiday visa to anything.
We have talked to a lot of people and immigration and usually we get told " Yeah working holiday from a country not on the list? Tough luck, go home"
Nicer people said," if you try really hard and get a CoE maybe you can get it changed within Japan but the chance is like 20%."
Anyway, we talked to one school and a person of trust from there that said she has managed to do it all the time including last month. So that we should give her the needed documents this week so she can start the process.
That's what we are going for now.
We have also seen other Working Holiday havers that by the grace of god managed to change their status.
So that's what I'm inquiring about. If you or someone you know managed to change their visa status without leaving the country and starting it all from zero, how did you manage it and do you have any advice?
Thank you so much.
