Japan Visa Basics

A visa is permission to travel to and seek entry into Japan. Possession of a visa does not guarantee entry; the final decision is made by immigration officers at the port of entry.

 All travelers must carry a valid passport and comply with Japan's immigration requirements. Depending on nationality, travelers may be required to obtain a visa before departure.

The permitted period of stay is determined by the immigration officer upon arrival and is separate from the visa validity period.
