Associate Degree for a working visa in Japan

I know this has already been asked but would an Associate Degree be enough for a working visa in Japan? I know this is very unspecific, because there are many jobs & fields with different requirements, but i'm aiming more towards what the Immigration Services would think?

For info, an associate degree in my country (The Netherlands) takes 2 years to obtain, and a bachelor degree 3/4 years like in all countries. I've read that a degree that takes less than 3 years is likely to get rejected, too. My plan is to arrive on a working holiday visa first, and then transition that into a working visa with the associate. I've read of some people who did and did not get it, and would like to know some more experiences/opinions.

It really depends on a type of visa you are going to apply for. If you apply for the skilled worker visa, then I believe they will require at least bachelors degree. In Japan, it is kind of required to obtain bachelors degree in order to get a work visa. Moreover, you should always be in somewhat better than Japanese. For example, language skills, or additional skills that is difficult to find within their nationality.
