Japan - Expansion of Visa Quota for Japan-UK Working Holiday Program

In November 2023, expansion of the visa quota issued under the Working Holiday Program was confirmed between Japan and the UK.

In light of the above, effective on April 1, the number of UK nationals (visa quota) eligible to use the Working Holiday Program has been increased from 1,000 to 6,000 annually. 
(Note: The number of Japanese nationals (visa quota) eligible to use the UK's Youth Mobility Scheme has been increased from 1,500 to 6,000 annually, effective January 31, 2012.)

Expanding the visa quota for the Working Holiday Program further encourages exchange and mutual understanding between the youths of Japan and the UK and is expected to further strengthen the relationship between Japan and the UK.
