Visa Information

• Visa Information

  Visa requirements for entry into Japan depend on your nationality and passport.

  
  

  Visa-Exempt Countries and Regions

  Nationals of visa-exempt countries and regions, including the United States, South Korea, EU member states, Taiwan, and so on generally do not need to obtain a visa in advance for a short-term visit to Japan, including conference attendance, provided that they will not engage in remunerative activities in Japan.
  For these countries and regions, the period of stay granted upon entry is generally up to 90 days. Please check whether your country or region is included in Japan’s official visa exemption list before making travel arrangements:
  Japan Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA): Visa Exemption for Short-Term Stay
  https://www.mofa.go.jp/j_info/visit/visa/short/novisa.html
  If your country or region is listed as visa-exempt and you meet the conditions for a short-term stay, you do not need to apply for a visa or JAPAN eVISA before traveling to Japan.

  
  

  Participants Who Require a Visa

  Participants whose nationality or passport is not covered by Japan’s visa exemption arrangements should check the visa application requirements provided by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan and the Japanese Embassy or Consulate-General with jurisdiction over their place of residence.

  Please note that JAPAN eVISA is currently intended for eligible short-term visits for tourism purposes. Participants who require a visa to attend a conference should therefore check the appropriate short-term stay visa procedure with the relevant Japanese Embassy or Consulate-General.
