Notable exceptions are citizens from Russia, China and the Philippines who have to apply for a visa directly with the Japanese Embassy in their country of residence.
All other nationalities should check with the Japanese Embassy in their country of residence for the most up-to-date information.
In the event of a visa being required, arrangements should be made with the Japanese Embassy in your country of residence in advance of your departure to Japan.
