If airline check-in/boarding gate staff notice someone with a one-way ticket they could ask for sight of one of these three; 1) Return ticket, 2) Onward ticket, 3) ‘Some sort’ of visa. Your DTV will definitely satisfy them.

Personally, I wouldn’t risk $ USD in view of how they operate. An extra $155 USD to guarantee your five year visa isn’t excessive. Additionally, reading between the lines, using this service might tip the scales in favour of success where the supporting evidence was ‘borderline’?

@Toni ******

Shoddy software development. No reasonable person would expect data correctly entered to change by simply paging backwards/forwards. No way should the customer have to lose $ USD.

@Elías *******

Problem was previously reported that paging backwards changed date of birth by one day. It’s a possible explanation in this case?

Very good price. Plus, you have more chance of a company in your home country paying out.

@Henrik ****

Condoning perpetuates ‘Government Department’ arrogance and incompetence. Pocketing $400 dollars without supplying the reason for cancellation (or rejection) is deplorable.

@Henrik ****

The OP could have made an incorrect assumption?

Did the Japanese Consulate actually state their reason for ‘cancellation’ was the fact you left Japan during processing?

@Paul *******

Thanks for your information. Last time I looked it could only be changed by a personal visit to branch. It appears (at least for me) that I can change it via my mobile app too. ‘Personal Information’ (KYC) is also interesting. It shows both registration and mailing address. My registration address is that of my Visa Agent who opened my account. My mailing address is an address I left seven years ago. Must have forgotten to update!
