I am expected to receive my working visa in two weeks, and I will enter Japan with the working visa in October.
Problem is: some friends of mine and I are planning a short trip to Japan in early September, and I wonder if I can choose to enter Japan as a tourist for this trip, even if I have a valid working visa in my passport? If so, will it cause any problems or questions by immigration when I later enter with my working visa?
I am aware that I need to exit Japan and re-enter to switch to use my working visa later. Thank you if anyone has experience similar to this, really appreciate it.
