Yes you could put the wage on your application - it sounds relevant. I think your itinerary should be fine. You aren't supposed to be working full time, but then you are only doing this for a limited time. I'm sure a lot of people do something similar. Good luck with the application.

I am from Ireland. I will hopefully travel to japan in june. few questions for you. 1) Currently i am unemployed. will this have a negative affect on my application do you think? i have a job lined up in tokyo whenever i get there. It is in a music school and my students / hours will only increase when i begin working there. At best the only info i can give the embassy is how much i will get per lesson. Is this worth putting on my application? I will stay with my girlfriend and her family in tokyo. i plan to work my butt of initally for 3-4 months and then with the money earned from teaching and gigs and start up money i will travel without working. Is 3-4 months in tokyo alone too long of a period in terms of writing my itinerary? thanks so much for your time. Dan Hi, thanks for the information on your site it is very helpful.

I don't know much about applying for tourist visas for Philippine citizens. But there is official information on their website at <a href="http://www.ph.emb-japan.go.jp/visiting/new%20visa/tourism.htm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.ph.emb-japan.go.jp/visiting/new%20visa/tourism.htm</a> There is always a chance that any visa application is denied. You could ask the embassy for advice, but they are often very vague on the topic of whether you are likely to have your application accepted or declined. The only sure way to find out is to make the application. From what I see on the embassy page the standard length of the tourist visas is 3 months.

You tricked me! Or i am just ignorant - didn't know what Paint Shop Pro does... Now I can see it is a bit of pasting job (your wrinkle of trousers are exactly same, off course) However it is still great work. It really looks real & precise :-) I was searching information for my work. If my proposal go through, I may have to print fake note. if I do I will send you picture! Haha! You tricked me!

I didn't use any paper to do this - it is all done on the computer in Paint Shop Pro. I just digitally made a small bundle of notes, and then duplicated it many times to produce the large stacks of money :) I found the exact dimension for the bank notes from the Bank of England website.

I wonder if you really printed all money and cut them... did you printed back of the note too? Where are they now? Have you ever try to use it? What kind of paper did you used? How did you know the thickness of the £20 note is 0.113mm, such a delicate number. Sorry I got little excited, too many questions. Anyway congratulation for your work. I am very impressed.
