Travel to Japan Made Easy with the New eVISA System
Japan has launched a new eVISA system, allowing nationals and residents from several countries to apply for short-term tourism visas online. This initiative aims to streamline the visa application process, making it more convenient for travellers and boosting tourism.

- Payment: Pay the required visa fees electronically.
- Approval: Wait for the eVISA approval, which will be sent via email.
The eVISA allows for single-entry stays of up to 90 days, accommodating tourists, business travellers, and those visiting family or on other short-term visits.
