Cool WHV Return Fare

Hi,

I am in the process of applying for my WHV. On the application it says that to pick up the visa you need to present a return ticket. Does this mean that I have to buy a ticket there and back? I assume that if I was to do so I would buy an open ticket since I don't know when I will be returning... Is there any way around having to buy the ticket both ways? I would prefer not to right now bc i'm sure money will be tight as I wait for my first paycheck in Japan.

Thanks

Working Holiday Visa - return sector

Alternatively, you can show that you have enough funds to purchase a return sector. Depends on your visa office, and I suggest asking them if you can show enough funds to purchase your return sector at a later date.

Alternatively, you can purchase 2 tickets. 1 to Japan and the other from Japan to South Korea. As long as you can show you have a ticket leaving Japan then all is fine. Tickets from Japan to South Korea are very cheap - around 23,000 yen.

Realise though that a return ticket back to your home country wont cost much more than a single ticket.
