Japan is one of the most popular destinations for both leisure and business travelers. It is renowned for its technology, innovation, and deep-rooted cultural heritage. Whether you plan to explore Tokyo’s dynamic city life, engage in business meetings, study at a Japanese institution, or work in a highly specialized field, you must obtain the correct visa for a smooth, stress-free experience.
At My Visa and Apostille, we simplify the Japan visa application process by offering swift, professional visa services, document authentication, and expert guidance tailored to your needs.
Not all visitors require a visa to enter Japan. Depending on your nationality and length of stay, you may be eligible for visa-free entry, while others must apply for the appropriate visa in advance.
Citizens of 60+ countries (including the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and most EU nations) can visit Japan without a visa for short-term tourism or business (usually up to 90 days).
If you are not visa-exempt or plan to stay longer than allowed under visa-free status, you must apply for a short-term visa before departure.
For work, study, or extended stays, you need a relevant visa (e.g., a Work Visa or a student Visa), often requiring a Certificate of Eligibility (COE) from a Japanese sponsor.
