Japan Launches eVisas for Indian Tourists: Apply Online Now

Japan has initiated the issuance of eVisas to Indian tourists, implementing a system that eliminates the necessity for physical visa stickers in passports. Under this innovative program, Indian travelers bound for Japan can electronically request visas via designated Japan Visa Application Centers managed by VFS Global.

The eVisa caters to a single-entry short-term visa tailored explicitly for tourism purposes, permitting a stay of up to 90 days in the island nation. Both Indian citizens and foreign nationals residing in India qualify to apply for this eVisa.

Applicants will channel their submissions through Visa Application Centers supervised by VFS Global, mirroring the previous procedure. However, instead of conventional visa stickers affixed to passports, applicants will now obtain electronic visas.

To initiate the application process for a tourist visa in Japan, follow these steps:

1. Visit the official website of the Japan Visa Application Centre, administered by VFS Global, at visa.vfsglobal.com/ind/en/jpn/.
2. Opt for the 'Temporary Visitor Visa' category, download the visa application form, and meticulously complete it. Print the form and ensure all mandatory fields are filled.
3. Arrange an appointment to submit your application form at the Visa Application Centre. Upon confirmation of your booking, expect an email containing the appointment letter.
4. During your appointment, furnish the visa application form at the center and await email notifications. Alternatively, you can track your visa application status online using the reference number from the invoice or receipt issued by the center.

At the airport check-in, exhibit the 'visa issuance notice' on your device. The travel agency will furnish you with a 'Visa Issuance Notice' featuring a two-dimensional barcode. Scan the barcode and input all required information to access the notice. Click 'Display' to view the electronic 'visa issuance notice.'

It's noteworthy that during the application process, applicants might be summoned to appear in person at the Japanese overseas establishment with jurisdiction over their place of residence for an interview
