Well my friend @yallapapi. I heartily wish you all the luck you can gather while pursuing the personal branding benefits you are looking for on this new challenging adventure in such expensive place like Tokyo.
I just hope that due to those current unexpected problems with your visa over there, this situation won't make you end up living for a while in an japanese Net Cafe somewhere in the slums of Tokyo despite of be wearing & enjoying your brand new suit pajamas but that you possibly could get stuck over there longer than you'd like making that this could be even more difficult for you to return to Thailand, Vietnam or wherever you please to get back sooner than later.
Cheers!! :)
