Japan Visa General Information

The Japanese government is implementing the Japan online visa in order to make it easier for eligible citizens to visit the country, strengthen immigration controls, and reduce visa application workloads at Japanese diplomatic missions.
The Japan tourist visa online will be a single entry visa and allow holders to enter the country once, although the period of stay allowed has yet to be announced. This information will be published on this site when available.
The Japan visa online will first be available to Chinese citizens who wish to visit Japan for short stays, as Japan visas issued to Chinese visitors currently make up 70% of all visa applications. The Japanese eVisa is then expected to be rolled out to other eligible nationalities.
In order to apply for the Japanese visa online, it will be necessary to complete the simple electronic visa application form for Japan. Applicants will be able to fill in the Japan visa online application form in just a few minutes, by supplying personal and passport information, and travel details, and answering a few security-related questions.
Those eligible for the eVisa for Japan who wishes to stay in the country for longer periods and purposes such as to work and study should contact their nearest Japanese Embassy or Consulate for further information.

Japan Visa FAQs

Current Japan visa requirements for certain visa types require the applicant to have a Japanese sponsor or guarantor that will support the application and cover expenses for the person applying for a visa. It is currently unknown whether this will be a requirement to obtain the eVisa.
As the eVisa is not yet available, the full list of Japan online visa requirements will be published on this site when made available by the Japanese government, closer to the expected April 2020 launch date.
