Visa

General information on Visa

　Visas are issued in the Japanese Embassy, and cannot be obtained at the port of entry in Japan. The visa confirms the validity of a foreign national’s passport and also suggests that the bearer of said visa would not pose any problem as long as he/she enters Japan in accordance with the conditions specified on the visa. Furthermore, holding a visa is only one of the requirements for a landing permission application at the port of entry of Japan and does not guarantee that the holder of the visa will be able to enter Japan.
