Moving back to Japan thoughts...

Hi all, new to this and I've searched high and low all over the internet for this question (so apologies if its a simple question and/or if its been asked on this forum a few times!)

I recently moved back from Japan (i now live back in the UK, glorious rainy summer days...haha) due to family reasons. I left Japan getting my Residence Card hole-punched and therefore effectively cancelling my working visa, due to myself returning to the UK for maybe 18 months - 2 years or so!
Sine I've been back in the UK I've realised how much I miss Japan and I've been looking for jobs that I could possibly apply for in the future once everything has cooled down back here in the UK for me.
So, my question is;

Am I able to apply for a whole new working visa? Due to my recent visa being cancelled when I left Japan I am really unclear whether or not I can apply for a second working visa.


Anyway, thank you for any replies and have a nice day.

Kind regards,

Will.

Yes, that is the proper procedure. Once your visa is cancelled you just start again from scratch.

Ah, I thought so! I was just wanting to clarify this.
Thank you! :)

Yes, you start from scratch. but at least you know the process.
