End date of working holiday visa

Hi all :)

I'm applying for a working holiday visa in April and would ideally like to wait a couple of months after receiving the visa before traveling to save more money.

I wanted to know whether the end date of the visa is one year from the date of issue or one year from the date of arrival in Japan.

Thanks!

Most probably will be from the date of your entry/zairyu card issued. That is the period of stay allowed.
Check your zairyu card. Due note that Zairyu card expiry date and period of stay can be different.

Visa issue/expiry date are not related to your residency stay period.

Visa expiry date means that you must use the visa within the expiry date to enter Japan.
