It's usually at least a week, but judging by the number of caps that the lad has and the fact he was in the WC squad, the likelihood of this being denied is very low. I believe there used to be an arbitrary measure on how many times you've played for your national team, and then how many games you have played for the national team over the past 2-3 years / how many games that team played in total, but not sure what they use now.
I'd add, more broadly about work permits, the English FA rules also changed to require that the country they play for has a high enough world ranking (I forget now what that minimum rank is). Obviously for Japan that's not relevant because they're highly ranked and qualified for the WC, but I've had big concerns about what it means for keeping great players from mediocre national teams out of England. For example, a Canadian was just sold to Bayern Munich even though he had interest in playing in England - because he will never qualify for a work permit.
Japan are ranked 61st in the world - which means he has to appeal. But he should get it if his wages are high enough.
