Japan visa requirements for Chinese citizens
Chinese citizens need a visa to visit Japan. Japan offers both traditional embassy-issued visas and an electronic visa (eVisa) system under specific conditions.
Chinese citizens who are also residents of the following places may apply online for a Japan eVisa: Australia, Brazil, Cambodia, Canada, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Taiwan, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
In addition, certain other foreign nationals may also apply for single-entry eVisas through accredited agencies, including Chinese nationals residing in China, typically for short stays of 15 to 30 days, depending on the visa granted.
ALL travelers must fill out a disembarkation card and customs declaration, which can be done on paper during the flight or online in advance through our Japan Arrival Card application.
