<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-do-i-need-a-japan-visa">Do I need a Japan Visa?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For stays under 90 days, US citizens do not need a visa to visit Japan for leisure or business travel. If you wish to stay longer than 90 days, you must obtain an appropriate visa (such as a work visa) and register your address with your residence&#8217;s municipal office to obtain a Resident Card (Zairyu Card).</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-japan-entry-requirements">Japan Entry Requirements</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To enter Japan, US citizens must have a valid US passport that is good for the length of their stay. (It&#8217;s always ideal to have your passport be valid for 6 months past your return date from any international trip.) </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You may not enter the country using a passport that has been reported lost or stolen even if you have since located it. Your passport must have at least one full blank page. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Additionally, you must have a return ticket or an onward ticket showing your departure date from Japan.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Japan uses a QR code service for customs and immigration. You can complete the online process at <a href="https://vjw-lp.digital.go.jp/en/">Visit Japan Web</a> before your trip to make your arrival in Japan as seamless as possible.</p>
