WHV/dual nat visa question -
08-12-2010, 09:50 AM
Hi, basically I'm interested in applying for a WHV. I have previously had a WHV 6 years ago and I am aware that visas are only issued once to the same person. Unfortunately my visa got cut short at the time when I was in Japan as I left the country without a re-entry permit (I didn't know) I came back and my visa was canceled. I looked into re-applying but everyone (foreign affairs and Japanese consulate said no) therefore had to leave Japan.
So I was wondering if anyone possibly knows, now that is has been 6 years and because I never had the chance to use the visa for its full period, if I could re-apply and be accepted?
I also have dual nationality. I thought I could reapply on my other passport. However, when applying for a WHV, when the question asks if I have been on a WHV visa before, I'm not quite sure how to answer. Should I answer yes or no, because technically I have never had a visa on my other passport? If I answer yes, should I mention it was my other passport? or should I not say the truth and say it was a working visa? Either way I have to say I have had a visa as my resume shows I have previously worked in Japan.
I very much appreciate in any help, anyone can give, thankyou.
