Japan Visa Information

Tourist Visit Rules & Visa Options for Traveling to Japan

Japan, known for its blend of tradition and modern innovation, welcomes millions of tourists each year to explore its temples, cherry blossoms, and vibrant cities. Entry rules depend on nationality—many countries enjoy visa-exempt entry for short tourism stays, usually up to 90 days.Travelers who require authorization must apply for a Short-Term Tourist Visa, which allows travel for leisure, sightseeing, or visiting friends and family. Applicants typically need a valid passport, a detailed travel itinerary, proof of accommodation, financial statements, and sometimes a letter of guarantee if visiting someone in Japan.

For longer stays or non-tourism purposes such as work, study, or long-term residence, visitors must obtain the appropriate long-stay visa or residence status. Japan does not offer long-term tourist visas, so extended stays require a suitable visa category based on the traveler’s purpose.

If you are from one of the visa-exempt countries (around 70–71, including the USA, UK, many EU countries, Australia, Singapore, etc.), you can visit Japan without a visa for short stays (typically up to 90 days, though for some nationalities it might be shorter)

A short-term tourist visa — whether sticker-type or e-Visa — typically allows a stay of up to 90 days.

A valid passport (with required validity and blank pages, depending on your nationality/visa type) Return or onward flight ticket and confirmed travel itinerary. Proof of accommodation (hotel booking or host details), or itinerary for trip. Proof of sufficient funds for stay (bank statements / income proof / ITRs — especially for visa applicants from non-visa-free countries).
