I always wanted to go to Japan after graduating! Thanks to the Yokoso Team for making this possible. I was nervous at first to go to a foreign country alone, but it turned out to be the best decision. Becky had an answer to every question and organising my Working Holiday was so much easier than i thought it would be.

Always got a reply within few hours from the YOKOSO chat support team. they helped me a lot with my registration, phone contract and insurances and it really came in handy to have my personal interpreter by my side for any official appointments. would 100% reccommend!

I wish I had known about the YOKOSO Expat support earlier, would have saved me a lot of time and nerves with Japanese bureaucracy…. I have been using the 24/7 chat for 2 months now and whenever I get mail I can’t bother figuring out what they want from me, or need to apply for anything I simply explain my problem in the chat and wait for it to resolve itself
