Visa
Visa required
Before you travel, check what the official route asks for. Which route is open to you depends on your passport and your situation.
A stay can be up to 90 days, but your visa and landing permission determine the actual period granted. Residence in an eligible country may provide a separate eVISA application route.
Nationality-specific consular fee waivers or reductions may apply. A fee waiver does not remove the need to obtain a visa.
- Processing time
- The standard processing time is 5 working days after acceptance if the case is uncomplicated; it may take longer.
- Government fees
- Visa issuance fee waived for ordinary short-term tourism under the published consular nationality schedule. Approved agency handling fees may still apply.
For Bangladesh passport holders
- Where to apply
Since 3 November 2024, the Embassy of Japan in Dhaka no longer accepts visa applications directly from applicants. Applications go through the visa application service the embassy has appointed.

Onward travel
Recommended
Japan's official guidance doesn't list a prebooked ticket as a requirement for all tourists. If you apply for a visa, follow your Japanese embassy or consulate's checklist for itinerary and flight documents.
Travel insurance
Recommended
Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly recommends international travel medical insurance. Its guidance doesn't list insurance as a general requirement for tourists, but some visa or entry routes can set their own conditions.
Other information
These conditions are for a regular tourist visit. Where you live, your visa status and the route you take can change what applies to you.
- Some visa exemptions depend on passport subtype, biometrics, registration or an identity number. Read your passport-specific conditions.
- Japan’s eVISA eligibility depends on residence and the application channel, as well as nationality. Existing foreign visas do not establish a general Japanese visa exemption.
- For eVISA entry, show the live visa issuance notice as instructed; screenshots and printouts are not accepted substitutes.
