Japan working holiday visa (UK)

Hey all, currently looking at the process of applying for a Japanese working holiday visa but still had some questions before booking my meeting at the Japanese consulate.

  • Do I need to have my ticket booked for Japan prior to the meeting or can I give them an estimated date/the month I plan to travel?
  • Do I need to fill out any forms prior to the meeting other than the detailed list of travel destinations and why I'm going there as well as the reasons why I'm choosing to go on a working holiday there?
  • Some of the money given to me was a gift last Christmas but not exclusively for this. Do I still need to give a signed letter from the person who sent me the money or can I just hand in the bank statements?
  • Do I need bank statements from all my bank accounts or just the one that I have the money in?
  • Is it only once I move into a permanent address do I need to notify the local government office of my address? Or do I need to update them once I go to another area whilst staying in hostels and hotels?

Sorry for all the questions just want to be sure what to bring with before the application.

Thank you!
