# Can I apply for the visa while I'm still 17 years old? Can I start my Working Holiday in Japan with 31?

You need to be 18-30 years old at the time of your visa application. The earliest you can apply for your visa is the day you turn 18. The latest you can apply for your visa is one day before you turn 31. 

Then, you have to arrive in Japan within one year of the day of your granted visa (for nationalities where there is no restriction on the number of Working Holiday Visas issued per year) or within 3 months (for nationalities where there is such restriction).
