The working holiday system is implemented between
two countries. At present, Japan has working holiday
agreements with the following nine countries: Australia,
New Zealand, Canada, Korea, France, Germany, Britain,
Ireland and Denmark.
Regarding requirements for utilizing the working
holiday system, there are many rules in common, but
for your sake, it is best to read them carefully since
some points do differ depending on the country.
In your case, if you have fulfilled the requirement
for a Specialist in Humanities/International Services
visa, it is possible for you to change your Designated
Activities visa to it.
However, British people who are staying on a Working
Holiday Visa are not permitted to change their visa
status during the time. Therefore, please tell your
British colleague to apply for a certificate of eligibility.
