Can I get a Japanese individual tourist visa if I live in a friend's house?

Living in a friend's house cannot be used as an address to apply for a personal tourist visa in Japan. When applying for a Japanese visa, you need to provide proof of your permanent residence outside Japan, which usually includes hotel reservation information or house lease contract. If you live in a friend's house, you need to provide your friend's information and consent certificate. However, according to Japanese visa requirements, applicants need to provide proof of permanent residence outside Japan, so staying at a friend's house may not meet the requirements of visa officers.

If you want to apply for a personal tourist visa in Japan, it is recommended that you plan your accommodation in advance and book the corresponding hotel to ensure that you can provide proof of residence that meets the visa requirements. At the same time, you need to prepare other necessary application materials, such as passports, visa application forms, photos, etc. And apply according to the requirements of the Japanese embassy or consulate.
