Japan visa requirements for Saudi citizens

Saudi citizens need a visa to visit Japan. Japan offers both traditional embassy-issued visas and an electronic visa (eVisa) system.

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.

No waiting for days or weeks: the entry visa grant came within a half hour or less. It could not have been easier or quicker!

Do Saudi citizens need a visa to travel to Japan?

Yes. Saudi passport holders must obtain a visa before traveling to Japan. Visa-free entry is not available.

Can Saudi citizens apply for a Japan eVisa online?

Yes. Because Saudi Arabia is an eligible country under Japan’s eVisa program, Saudi citizens residing in Saudi Arabia may apply online for a single-entry Japan eVisa for short-term tourism.

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

Japan eVisa processing is usually completed within 5–10 business days, depending on application volume. With iVisa, you choose your processing speed at checkout, and the option you pick is shown with its delivery time before you pay.

The Japan eVisa is generally issued for short-term tourism and can allow stays of up to 90 days, depending on the conditions granted by Japanese immigration.

Can Saudi citizens work in Japan with a tourist eVisa?

No, a Japan Tourist Visa or eVisa does not allow employment. Travelers must apply for a work visa if they plan to work or stay long-term.

Should Saudi travelers apply early for a Japan visa?

Yes. Processing times may increase during peak travel periods, so applying several weeks in advance is strongly recommended.

Do I also need the Japan Arrival Card?

The Japan arrival procedures are mandatory for every foreign national. This includes filling out 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 iVisa's online application is designed to make the process simpler and save you time at the airport.
