VisaAI is not a government body and does not issue visas. It cannot decide, predict or guarantee the outcome of an application, and this page is not legal or immigration advice.

Requirements change. Confirm every item on Immigration Services Agency (出入国在留管理庁)’s own page before you apply.

Each requirement below is written in plain English by VisaAI. The indented text beneath it is quoted from Immigration Services Agency (出入国在留管理庁)’s own page, so you can check what we say against what they say. Where a quotation shows “ ... ”, text has been left out.
