Japan Tourist Visa (Temporary Visitor)
Japan's tourist visa for Indian nationals requires no interview — documents are assessed by the consulate and processed quickly. Japan is extremely document-focused: the more organized, detailed, and clear your application, the better. Applications are handled through registered travel agents (including Explera) or directly at the Japan Consulate. Popular seasons (cherry blossom April and autumn October) see higher application volumes — apply early.
Apply through a Japan-registered travel agent (recommended for first-time applicants) or directly at the Japan Consulate. Agents can process faster as they have consulate relationships.
Japan requires a very detailed day-by-day plan. "Tokyo 5 days" is NOT sufficient. You need: "Day 1: Shinjuku, Meiji Shrine, Harajuku, dinner in Shibuya" — hour-by-hour level is ideal.
Compile financial, employment, and travel documents. Bank balance should be consistent — avoid large unexplained deposits before applying.
Submit at your nearest Japan Consulate or through registered travel agent. No biometrics required. Application fee is paid in Indian Rupees at the time of submission.
