Tourist Visa Japan

Millions of tourists travel to Japan each year to experience its unique blend of modernism, culture, history, and nature. Japan is one of the most visited countries in the world.

Although not everyone needs a tourist visa to visit Japan, many of those visitors had to apply for one before they could go.If you want to travel, visit family or friends, or travel to Japan for another short-term, leisurely reason without the requirement to work for pay, you need a Japan Tourist Visa.

Most nationals in the world must apply for a Japanese tourist visa. However, there is a list of nations whose citizens can visit Japan without a visa for up to 90 days. This means that as long as they are travelling to Japan for tourism, visits, or other short-term, leisurely activities, citizens of those nations—which include those in the EU, the USA, Australia, the UK, etc.—do not need to apply for a visa.
