Hey!
I’m heading to Japan this ski season on a working holiday visa from the UK. I’ll be getting travel insurance, but I’m not sure how long to cover myself for yet.
The plan is to work the ski season first, then travel around Japan afterwards, but I don’t really know for how long. I’d rather not pay for 12 months of insurance if I might only need four.
For anyone who’s done this before — when you arrived in Japan and went through immigration to activate your working holiday visa, what did they actually check when it came to insurance? Did you need to show a certain amount of coverage time, or just proof that you had insurance at the time?
Basically, would it be a problem if I only have insurance for about four months to start with?
Any advice or experiences would be really appreciated!
