Does applying for a Japan visa during the off-peak summer season increase approval chances compared to peak seasons?
I’m planning a future trip to Japan and wondering if the timing of the visa application matters. Does it make sense to apply now during their off-peak summer season rather than during peak times like December or the Sakura season? Does the season affect approval rates at all?
For context, here is my profile:
Currently unemployed sa company and I am currently freelance/self-employed as a private academic tutor. In my mid-40s.
Financials: I have a 7-figure savings account balance under my name, along with stock investments and other bank investments.
Assets: I own a condo unit that I actively rent out for passive income.
I have been to Japan four times already, (different perfectures in JP) I was granted two single entry and one multiple, Pero the last I visited was nung 2017 pa.
I don't have immediate plans to travel to Japan since I already have a few sea trips lined up for the rest of this year. I'm looking at visiting next year instead, but I'm thinking of applying now if the season makes it easier to get approved?? If they issue a SE visa, I have no problem booking a quick flight to use it within the 3-mos validity window.
Would love to hear your thoughts or experiences on whether application timing matters
Thanksss
