Let's be honest, we Kiwi punters are lucky to have access to the world-class service provided by Japanese sex workers. Many offer an experience that feels like it's jumped straight out of a high-quality AV. It's easy to enjoy the luxury, but it got me wondering: what's the journey actually like for them to get here?
I've been on a bit of a punting streak lately with a prominent Auckland agency, and I had a chance to chat with one of the Japanese workers. The conversation shifted from the usual pleasantries to her travel ordeal, and let me just say, it makes our customs line at Auckland Airport feel like a walk in the park.
She described a grueling four-hour interview marathon with not one, not two, but three different border officers. It was less of a "welcome to New Zealand" and more of a final exam she hadn't studied for. She barely made it through, but she mentioned seven other Japanese women on her flight who were handed a rather unceremonious return ticket home. Their crime? A perceived lack of convincing holiday plans. Apparently, "I'm here to see the sights and enjoy your weather" doesn't always cut it without a detailed itinerary of Hobbiton visits.
It's no secret that Immigration New Zealand (INZ) is wise to the fact that some "tourists" from Japan have, ahem, alternative income streams in mind. Most of these women are recruited by agencies (often Chinese-operated) for short-term work, who provide accommodation and basic support.
Now, let's be clear: working without a visa is illegal. But it’s hard not to have a grudging respect for these women. With both New Zealand and Japan facing economic headwinds, they're making a calculated, if risky, decision. They travel thousands of miles to do the same job they could do at home, all for the chance at a more substantial income. You have to admire the hustle, even if the system is designed to stop it.
I just thought I'd share this with my fellow punters. Next time you book, remember the four-hour interview at the border—it adds a whole new layer of appreciation for the service.
