Japan eVisa

What is the Japan eVisa?

The Japan eVisa is an online visa designed by the government for foreign nationals who want to travel to Japan for tourism purposes for a limited period.

The electronic visa to Japan serves as a single-entry permit with a usual validity of 3 months.

Generally, the online visa process is simple, as it is done electronically. Applicants only fill in the form, cover the fee, and receive an email with confirmation and a QR code.

The Passporta is the website where it's possible to apply for a Japan eVisa that offers professional services.

However, depending on the nationality, travelers may be required to submit some documents in person at the embassy or consulate.

IMPORTANT: Japan eVisa holders should enter the country within 3 months of the issuance of the visa. In case of postponing the entry or longer travel, a traveler needs to apply for another visa.
