Instructions for Securing a Japanese Visa


U.S. citizens are required to present a valid passport that has at least one blank visa page and the passport should not expire within six months of the last day you are in the country and a return ticket. U.S. citizens are not required to secure a visa in advance of travel to the country. You may stay in the country without a visa for a stay of up to 90 days.

 
New Requirements for Entry to Japan effective November 23, 2007

Japan has recently announced a policy change regarding entry at border crossings for Non-Japanese citizens which will go into effect November 23, 2007. This policy change will affect ALL non-Japanese citizens arriving in Japan regardless of travel purpose, duration of stay or previous entries (except for those traveling on diplomatic or special government related clearance).

All travelers will be fingerprinted and photographed upon entry through Japanese Immigration. Travelers who refuse to be fingerprinted and photographed will be refused entry and immediately deported or possibly detained.

It is unknown at this time how it will effect entry times. There is an expectation that this policy change will result in delays as immigration officers explain the new policy to travelers who are unaware of it. The Japanese government will most likely increase staffing and provide handouts for travelers upon arrival in the terminal or otherwise inform people of the new policy, but expect this to cause delays in entry.

 

Visas for Non-US Citizens Residing in the U.S.

There are 191 countries in the world and each one has different visa arrangements with the 190 other countries. It is not possible for us to maintain current visa requirements for all nationalities to all countries.

For this reason we do not process all non-U.S. citizens' visa applications on the Internet. If you are not a U.S. citizen, reside in the US, and wish to travel to Japan, please follow the link below to complete and submit the request form for non-U.S. residents. We will dispatch a courier to the requested embassy, verify in person the requirements, obtain all needed forms, and contact you via email with the requirements for securing a Japanese visa. We serve non-U.S. citizens only if they are legally residing in the United States.
