On March 1, 2018, there are new changes in Japan tourist visa

Going to Japan, whether for tourism or study, requires a visa. Japan’s visa rules have been relaxed before. So what are the changes? Let me give you a brief introduction.

Especially since May 8 last year, Japan’s tourist visa has been greatly simplified. As long as you can prove sufficient financial ability, you can get a tourist visa in minutes!

Now that the new policy has been implemented, major In the past six months, when Chinese tourists to Japan have increased significantly,

The Japanese Embassy in China also discovered many problems, so on February 22, all travel agencies received the following notice:

Regarding this document that seems to be generated by translation software, relevant people from the travel agency interpreted it this way: Because each travel agency has different understanding of the simplified policy, the submitted information is incomplete, and the income certificate and itinerary arrangement do not meet the requirements, causing problems to the embassy. The extra work burden also delays the applicant’s travel time!

Therefore, starting from March 1, Japan’s visa application materials will be unified and strict, and some vague and simplified policies will be cancelled. The income certificate must fully meet the requirements. And we will strictly check air tickets and accommodation! Students who are currently applying for a visa, and students who are about to apply for a visa,

Please be sure to find the travel agency to confirm the information again after March 1, so as not to be temporarily Notice to supplement the information, in the case of delaying the trip, in the case of serious cases, it will be recorded as a visa refusal!
