Japan eVisaeVisa
- Who it's for
- The Japan eVisa is for travelers who are not citizens of a visa-exempt country and who wish to visit Japan for tourism. If you are visa-exempt, you may not need a visa at all; if you are not eligible for the eVisa, you may need a traditional sticker visa from a Japanese embassy or consulate.
- Permitted activities
- The Japan eVisa is meant for tourism visits only. You will need to provide your travel plans and hotel or accommodation bookings. For business or family visits you must apply for a different visa through a Japanese embassy or consulate.
- Duration and entries
- The Japan eVisa is a single-entry visa that allows a stay of up to 90 days, though the exact number of days granted (15, 30, or 90) depends on your nationality and residence and is set by the consulate. The visa itself is valid for 3 months from the date of issuance, so you must enter Japan within that window.
- Delivery format
- You receive a notification by email once your visa is issued. Rather than printing a PDF, you log in to the official system on a mobile device at the airport to display the "Visa Issuance Notice" barcode. If you applied through iVisa, we send you instructions on how to access it through your dashboard.
