Japan visa requirements for Pakistani citizens

Pakistani citizens need a visa to visit Japan. In some cases, Pakistani citizens who hold a valid residence permit in an eligible third country (such as the United Kingdom, the United States, or certain EU jurisdictions) may be able to apply for a Japan eVisa online for short-term tourism, provided they apply from their country of legal residence.

Pakistani travelers who do not meet the eVisa eligibility requirements must apply through the Japanese Embassy or an authorized visa center in Pakistan.

It is mandatory for all travelers to fill out a Japan disembarkation card and customs declaration, which can be done on paper during the flight or online in advance with our Japan Arrival Card application.

Still have questions?

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

Do Pakistani citizens need a visa for Japan?

Yes. Pakistani citizens need a visa to travel to Japan, even for short tourist visits. If you have residency in Australia, Brazil, Cambodia, Canada, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Taiwan, the United Kingdom, or the United States, you can apply for the eVisa. If you live in Pakistan, you must apply directly at a Japanese embassy or consulate for a traditional Japanese embassy visa.

What is the processing time for a Japan visa for Pakistani citizens?

Japan eVisa (online) applications for short-term tourism generally take about 2 weeks (10 business days) to process, though some applications may be completed in as little as 5 business days.

Can I use the Japan eVisa for business or visiting family?

No. The Japan eVisa is strictly for tourism. Business travelers of those visiting friends and family will need to apply for a different visa type through an embassy.

Can I enter Japan by sea with an eVisa?

No. The Japan eVisa is only valid for arrivals by air. Travelers arriving by cruise ship or other sea routes must apply through traditional embassy channels.

How long is the Japan eVisa valid, and how long can I stay as a Pakistani citizen?

The Japan eVisa is valid for 90 days after it’s issued, and it allows you to stay in Japan for a maximum of 15, 30, or 90 days, depending on the period granted, based on your application details and at the discretion of the visa officer.

Can I extend my Japan eVisa as a Pakistani citizen?

No. Japan eVisas cannot be extended once you're in the country. You must leave Japan before your visa expires and apply again if you wish to return.

Do I also need the Japan Arrival Card?

The Japan arrival procedures are mandatory for every foreign national, a disembarkation card and a customs declaration. Completing them online is optional (paper forms are handed out on the aircraft and accepted at every airport), but our online application helps you skip the ques and avoid mistakes after a long flight.
