Visa Exemptions & Denials
A Japanese Visa is not required from any of these scenarios:
- Nations with Reciprocal Visa Exemption Agreement
with Japan – The nationals of these countries
need only to acquire landing permissions if their stay is
for vacation and business trips. There is, however some additional
requirements in case the visit should extend the period stipulated
between the agreements of the two countries.
- Re-entry Permission – This is when
a foreigner wishes to temporarily leave the country even while
he has acquired residency status in Japan. The foreigner must
obtain re-entry permission before departing to another country.
- Special Landing Permission cases - This
is with cases that require foreigners a quick stop over in
Japan, before departing to another destination. This allows
foreigners to shop or go sightseeing, for a very short and
restricted period or stay.
Visa or entry is denied to a foreigner if he/she is suspected
of the following:
- Fake/tampering of passport
- False identity
- Criminal record with more than a year of imprisonment
- Criminal record involving narcotics
- Deported for illegal residency
Depending on the case, a Japanese visa may be availed of again
in the future.
