What is the application process and timeline for the DTV (Soft Power) visa in Japan?
I’m planning to apply for the DTV (Soft Power ) in Fukuoka ( or Tokyo, Osaka )
If anyone has applied before, could you please share how long it took and what documents you prepared?

Answer summary
The inquiry is about the application process for the DTV (Soft Power) visa in Japan, particularly from Fukuoka, Tokyo, or Osaka. A comment suggests that Fukuoka and Osaka are more accommodating for visa applications compared to Tokyo, and emphasizes the need for a 6-month course to support a 5-year visa request. It notes that Japan often limits visas to 6 months if the applicant fails to demonstrate a genuine need for a longer visa.

Fukuoka and Osaka are much friendlier than Tokyo. You can find several posts about the difficulty of applying in Japan, mainly Tokyo. Make sure you have 6 month plus course and demonstrate your need for a 5 year visa. Japan often issues 6mth visas if they feel you don't need a 5 yr visa.
