Any foreign visitor who wishes to enter Japan must have a passport, which will remain valid during the period of stay. Nationals of some countries (or from some regions) do not need a visa if their period of stay in Japan is 90 days or less and they are not going to be engaged in income-earning activities. Nationals of countries that do not have "Reciprocal Visa Exemption Arrangements" with Japan must obtain a visa.

The standard processing period is five working days. However, if any kind of checking is required (the submission of additional documents, an interview with the applicant, inquiries, etc.), or if a visa application is made for the purpose of a long-term stay without a Certificate of Eligibility, etc., the examination may take longer than five working days (from several weeks to several months.

In case Japanese nationals lose their passport with the visa in it, they should contact the Japanese Embassy/Consulate General that issued the visa to inform what happened. It is recommended to submit a lost property form to the local police station and if a new visa is needed, an application must be made again.

The Embassy is closed on weekends and public holidays.
