Japan visa requirements for Indonesian citizens

Most Indonesian citizens need a visa to visit Japan, though holders of an Indonesian e-passport (electronic passport) may enter visa-free for stays of up to 15 days after registering it with a Japanese embassy or consulate in Indonesia.

Travelers without an e-passport, or who haven't registered for that exemption, can apply for a Japan eVisa if they are also residents of an eligible country or territory, valid for a single entry and allowing a stay of up to 90 days: Australia, Brazil, Cambodia, Canada, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Taiwan, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

ALL travelers must also complete Japan's mandatory arrival procedures, a disembarkation card and customs declaration, which can be done on paper during the flight or online via our Japan Arrival Card application before your flight.

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.

Japan visa FAQs

Quick answers for Indonesian citizens traveling to Japan.

Still have questions?

Our visa experts are available 24/7 on chat, email, and WhatsApp.

Do Indonesian passport holders need a visa to visit Japan?

It depends on your passport type. Indonesian citizens holding an ICAO-compliant e-passport can enter Japan visa-free for stays of up to 15 days, but only after registering it in advance with a Japanese embassy or consulate in Indonesia; that registration stays valid for three years or until the passport expires, whichever comes first. Indonesian citizens with a regular (non-electronic) passport, or who haven't registered, generally need to apply for a Japan eVisa in advance.

What is the processing time for a Japan eVisa for Indonesian citizens?

Government processing usually takes 5–10 working days.

How long can Indonesian citizens stay in Japan?

It depends on the route. The e-passport exemption allows a stay of up to 15 days; the Japan eVisa allows up to 90 days for eligible applicants.

What financial documents do Indonesians usually need for a Japan visa?

Most applicants need to show they can afford the trip. This is commonly done through bank statements (showing recent transactions and balance) and sometimes additional proof like salary slips of other income documentation. If someone else will pay for your travel, you may need a sponsorship letter plus the sponsor’s bank documents. The key is that the documents must clearly demonstrate your ability (or your sponsor’s) to cover your expenses in Japan.

What documents are needed if an Indonesian traveler is visiting family or friends in Japan?

If you're staying with a friend or family member in Japan, you may be asked for an invitation letter explaining your relationship and the purpose of your visit. In some cases, a guarantee letter may also be required, especially if your host is supporting your expenses. You may also need a copy of your host’s identification/residence details, as well as proof of where you will stay (their address). Having clear, consistent documents helps avoid delays and makes it easier to verify the purpose of the trip.

Do I also need the Japan Arrival Card?

It is mandatory for every foreign national to fill out a disembarkation card and a customs declaration to enter Japan. Completing them online is optional (paper forms are handed out on the aircraft and accepted at every airport), but filing in advance online with iVisa makes your experience in the airport more seamless and quicker.
