No, it does not.
Do you really think that places who regularly hire WHV holders wouldn`t think of this? They will definitely confirm your passport (for visa status) and in the schools I know of, they require you to live in their housing and show proof of departure date.



If you`ve heard of it, choose somewhere else.
If I heard of it? What do you mean by that?
Could you tell me wich city you would prefer to look out for a teaching job? Or would you even recommend me something smaller?

I just would like to get your opinion!

So what are exactly the conseguences for me then? You can't tell me they would boot me out of Japan for staying a little shorter.

As Nyororin said, this happens often enough that employers are very careful in their hiring.

And people wonder why some landlords don't like renting to foreigners.
I Love Japan and the lovely people who live overthere and it would really hurt me too to do this and just leave earlier. But I Love Japan that much, that I would like too see some more from this country and don't spend my entire WHV in a big city like Osaka or Tokyo. It's really not worth it!

It would really pain me to do something like this, to the Japanese people.. but if I have no other choice, what should I do. And I don't want to work somewhere else and do a different job. It's one of my biggest dreams to work as an English teacher in a country like Japan.

Also I really don't think you correctly understand the meaning of the Working Holiday Visum. It's really not at all designed too work! It's only there too support yourself so that you are able keep on traveling. Cause the Holiday in WHV should always stand out the most and goes for the Japanese as for the traveler. Everybody who deals with the WHV knows this and also the teachers in Japan must know this.

Also like Nyororin mentioned a couple posts back.. they love o hire people with a WHV because it just makes things much easier for everybody. Because of that I am going to assume, that most likely 90% of them if not more only work a short period of time.. cause otherwise it wouldn't be a WHV anymore.

Also, would you recommend me Osaka more? Or perhaps even a much smaller city??
