ERFS for Working Holiday Visa
The Working Holiday visa allows young citizens of 26 countries to stay several months to a year in Japan with unrestricted domestic travel, without the need for a guided tour or a fixed itinerary. You are allowed to go sightseeing, and to work at part-time jobs while staying around the country.

What is ERFS?
The "Certificate for Completion of Registration issued by the ERFS", or the "ERFS certificate" for short (J: 受付済証, uketsuke zumisho)" is an official document needed to apply for a student, worker, business, or working holiday visa to Japan.
The certificate proves that a Japanese organization will be jointly responsible for the traveler's conduct during their initial entry/re-entry period, especially COVID-19 health checks and quarantine rules, under the government's ERFS (Entry/Re-Entry Follow-Up System).
Usually the main visa sponsor or inviter, such as school or employer, will provide the ERFS certificate, but it can also be issued by a separate company. If you need a third-party ERFS, we may be able to help!
Important Notes:
* We are authorized to issue ERFS certificates for non-tourist visa types only.
* Visa approval depends on many factors, so we can not guarantee that Japan will approve your visa, even if they accept our ERFS certificate.
Testimonials
"A&K Tokyo really helped my partner and I out when we were travelling to Japan on our Working Holiday Visas from Canada. They were always quick to respond, and willing to help out with any questions we had. The pricing was also VERY reasonable. The property we stayed at was spacious, clean, quiet, and a great location. Close to convenience stores and train stations. I would definitely book with A&K Tokyo again if I need short to medium term accommodations!"
