Japan's new visa policy

You must apply for a visa in advance to visit Japan. It is actually very easy to apply for a visa in Japan, but it should be noted that the types of visas will be different and the visa processing will change. If you want to go to Japan, you can take a look at this strategy.

Japanese visa instructions

1. If you don't accept personal direct application, you must entrust a travel agency or visa agency.

There is no need for face-to-face interview, but there is the possibility of telephone spot check.

3. Paper visa, non-electronic, requires paper materials.

4. The processing time is generally 10- 12 working days. Note that it is a working day. If it is postponed in case of holidays, you must calculate the time in advance.

Don't book a plane ticket until you get a visa. Before applying for a Japanese visa, many people will have a question: Do you need to book a plane ticket before applying for a Japanese visa? After all, applying for a Japanese visa requires an air ticket reservation form.

However, it is recommended not to book air tickets first. To be on the safe side, it's best to wait until the Japanese visa comes down before booking a plane ticket. In case the visa is refused, the plane ticket booked in advance will be cancelled. If the order that has been issued needs to be refunded, the corresponding refund fee will be charged. To apply for a Japanese visa, you need to provide the embassy with air tickets and hotel reservation forms. Entrusting a travel agency to apply for a Japanese visa can directly help book air tickets and hotels. After signing the contract, you can book your own air tickets and hotels according to the travel time. In addition, the Japanese embassy does not accept individual visa applications, but only agencies (travel agencies, etc.). You can apply for a visa, so it still costs money to apply for a visa in Japan.

Passing visa information in Japan

Only the third agency can deliver the materials, so if you want to apply for a Japanese visa, you must deliver the materials through the third agency instead of going to the embassy yourself.

Division of visa areas in Japan

Japanese visas are mainly divided into eight consular regions, namely Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, Shenyang, Guangzhou, Dalian, Qingdao and Hong Kong.

There are two criteria for the division of territories, one is the place of household registration and the other is the place of permanent residence. For example, if a person lives in Beijing for a long time, but his household registration is in Fujian, then he does not need to go back to Fujian to apply for a Japanese visa, as long as he submits materials in Beijing, but there is a premise that he has a residence permit in Beijing. If not, he still has to go back to Fujian to apply.

Beijing area: Beijing, Tianjin, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Gansu, Henan, Hebei, Hubei, Hunan, Qinghai, Xinjiang, Ningxia, Tibet and Inner Mongolia.

Shanghai: Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui and Jiangxi.

Chongqing territory: Sichuan, Chongqing, Guizhou and Yunnan.

Shenyang area: Heilongjiang, Jilin and Liaoning (except Dalian)

Guangzhou: Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and Hainan.

Dalian area: Dalian

Qingdao area: Shandong

Hong Kong: Hong Kong and Macau

Japan has three tourist visas 1. Visa type: Japan single tourist visa.

Application conditions: the annual income exceeds RMB 654.38+10,000.

Japan's single tourist visa requires the applicant's annual income to exceed 654.38+10,000 RMB, which needs to be reflected through the bank flow sheet.

Japan's single tourist visa is valid for 90 days, allowing the applicant to stay for one time 15 days, and there is no restriction on the holder's itinerary.

One-time latest simplification policy:

Certificate of exemption from assets for college students or some 1243 college graduates. Specific colleges and universities refer to all undergraduates and postgraduates listed in the list published by the Ministry of Education of China (doctors, postgraduates or graduates within three years after graduation from university).

Let's look at the material section.

The basic materials are as follows:

1. Original passport, valid for more than 6 months (from the date of entry)

2.2 Photo with white background color (specification 4.5*4.5cm).

3. A copy of the front and back of the ID card.

4. Copy of the whole household registration book (home page+household registration book home page+all family members page)

5. If you are married, you need a copy of your marriage certificate (not provided for your last marriage).

6. The company's employment certificate, printed on A4 letterhead, should indicate the annual salary or monthly salary (the amount is not required).

7. Copy of business license or organization code certificate (seal

8. Application Form for Japan

9. If the registered permanent residence and domicile are not in four provinces (Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan and Fujian, or the registered permanent residence and domicile are in four provinces, but the registered permanent residence is different from the working province, a copy of the residence permit within the validity period shall be provided.

Basic information is basically not difficult for everyone, and everyone can provide it. It should be noted that the ninth point: the household registration is different from the working province, and a copy of the residence permit within the validity period must be provided!

Xiao Ming, for example, lives in Xiamen, Fujian and works in Shenzhen. If you apply for multiple visas, you need to provide a residence permit in Shenzhen within the validity period, and you don't need to provide it for a single application.

2. Visa type: Japan's three-year multiple-entry visa.

Application conditions: the annual income exceeds 6,543,800+10,000 yuan (limited to travel/more than 200,000 yuan (not limited to travel).

There are two versions of Japan's three-year multiple-entry tourist visa, one is 65438+ 10,000 and the other is 200,000. Travel restriction means that when an applicant enters the country for the first time, he must stay for one night in seven counties in Japan, such as Okinawa, Yamanashi and Fukuoka, and keep the proof of accommodation.

Note that this requirement does not mean that the applicant's first day trip must be arranged in these seven counties. If an applicant goes to Tokyo first, passes through these seven counties, stays for one night, and then finally leaves Osaka, such an arrangement is acceptable.

Without limiting the itinerary, it means that applicants can arrange their own itinerary completely freely and do not need to stay in these seven counties for one night. Japan's three-year visa is valid for three years and allows a single stay of 30 days. After obtaining a visa, the applicant must enter Japan once within three months, otherwise the three-year visa will be invalid.

Restricted access to destinations within three years:

1. I have been to Japan in the past three years and need to stay in Okinawa for the first time.

1.181-12 The monthly tax payment is above 1600 yuan.

2. 18 1- 12 If the monthly salary card is credited with more than 8340 yuan, the word salary must be included, excluding bonus and welfare.

3. In the past six months, after each transaction, the current balance of personal bank shall not be less than 65,438+10,000.

Note: If a bank running bill is provided, the last transaction date of the bill must be within 5 days before the delivery date. Applicants are advised to print the running bill 1 at the bank 0-2 days before the materials are delivered.

Multiple entry without destination for three years: refers to one of the following materials. 1 Provide three options;

Second, there are no restrictions on entry places.

1.181-12 The monthly tax payment is more than 3,200 yuan.

2.181-1February monthly salary card is credited to the account 1.68W or more, including the word "salary", excluding bonuses and benefits.

3. In the past six months, the current balance of personal bank after each transaction shall not be less than 20W.

Note: If a bank running bill is provided, the last transaction date of the bill must be within 5 days before the delivery date. Applicants are advised to print the running bill 1 at the bank 0-2 days before the materials are delivered.

Isn't it a little dizzy to see here? Never mind, let's talk about the latest simplification policy.

In the last three years, the policy has been simplified many times:

If you want to have two travel records of Japanese individuals such as V43 in the past three years, the economic certificate can be exempted. But it's just me. I can't bring my family at the same time.

Processing required information for three years (only in Guangzhou)

On-the-job personnel: (Work location: Guangdong/Guangxi/Hainan/Fujian.

1. The original passport (valid for more than 6 months) is required.

2.2 color photos with a white background of 4.5cm * 4.5cm.

3. Application Form+Information Form

4. Copy of the front and back of the ID card

5. Copy of the whole household registration book (collective household registration home page+personal page)

7. Copy of the company's business license (except institutions and top 500 companies)

8. On-the-job certificate is stamped with personnel or official seal.

9. Real hotel orders and air tickets orders

Is this a lot simpler and clearer? And there is no need to provide proof of assets.

3. Visa type: Japan's five-year multiple tourist visa.

Application conditions: tax payment certificate with annual income exceeding 500,000+78,000.

Japan's five-year visa is the most stringent of Japanese tourist visas. It requires the applicant to provide a one-year bank account showing that the total salary exceeds 500,000, and a tax payment certificate of 78,000 is required as supplementary proof before application. However, corresponding to the complicated application materials, Japan has the highest five-year visa freedom.

First of all, Japan's five-year visa is valid for five years, allowing applicants to stay for 90 days at a time, with no restrictions on the itinerary. Applicants are free to arrange their itinerary when they first enter the country. At the same time, as long as the visa is issued, the applicant does not need to go to Japan within three months and can arrange the travel time freely.

Proof of annual income of 500 thousand

Refers to one of the following materials, and select 1 from 4;

1: provide 1 the original personal income tax payment certificate for the whole year (over 78,000 yuan; Pay taxes at least 6500 yuan/month on average.

2. The transaction records and monthly salary of the bank account in my name for more than one year shall be displayed, with the words "salary" displayed, and the accumulated annual income of more than 500,000 yuan, and the monthly income of at least 42,000 yuan/month.

3. I have a property with a market value of more than 2 million in my name, and I have provided a bank account with a balance of 50,000 in my name within half a year (the balance after each consumption cannot be less than 8K, and the final balance is more than 5W).

4. The balance of each transaction recorded in my bank account in the last six months shall not be less than 500,000.

Actually, I suggest you apply with the tax payment certificate. The more complete the information, the higher the probability of passing!
