Can I apply for a Japanese visa?
Since Japan opened its individual tourist visa, it has always claimed to lower the standard year by year, but one thing has not changed, that is, it must be guaranteed by a travel agency, and the applicant himself cannot go to the embassy to send the visa. Judging from the development of Japanese visas in recent years, the visa policies of Europe, America and Canada are far from being so close to the people.
As a developed country in Asia, many people think that as long as they have been to South Korea and have visas from several developed countries in Europe and America, they can easily apply for a visa to Japan. However, this is not the case.
Because there are more and more people stranded in Japan in recent years, individual tourist visas to Japan have become more stringent. Let's take a look at what problems we need to pay attention to when applying for a Japanese visa!
What should I pay attention to in different types of Japanese visas?
The types of this kind of visa are mainly divided into: tourist visa, business visa, visiting relatives visa, work visa, studying abroad visa, etc.
This paper mainly introduces the Japanese tourist visa, which is suitable for tourists. Visa types are divided into three-month individual single tourist visa, three-year multiple-entry visa and five-year multiple-entry visa.
One-way round trip visa
At present, Japan's single round-trip visa needs to be handled through a travel agency designated by the embassy or consulate.
As long as sufficient application materials (especially qualified asset certificates and bank accounts) are prepared according to the requirements of travel agencies, they will generally not be rejected.
In addition, a single round-trip visa is a stepping stone to a three-year multiple round-trip visa! Don't believe it? Look down!
Three-year multiple entry visa
As long as you have been to Japan on a short-term visa (such as a group tourist visa, an individual single-entry visa, etc.). ) In the past three years, and your annual income has reached 654.38+ 10,000 or above, or you have never been to Japan but your annual income has reached 200,000 or above, you meet the entry requirements of the application. However, there are also the following requirements for issuing a three-year multiple-entry visa:
When you enter Japan for the first time after applying for a visa, you must include Okinawa Prefecture or one of the three northeastern counties (Iwate Prefecture, Miyagi Prefecture and Fukushima Prefecture) in your itinerary and stay there for at least one night.
Although it is not required to enter and leave the above four counties, you need to submit the travel itinerary and accommodation reservation form as proof when applying. After returning to China, you need to submit the accommodation certificate issued by the local hotel to the embassy or consulate before the visa can be officially activated;
Tips:
A three-year multiple-entry visa is valid for three years, with a maximum stay of 30 days each time. However, the longest stay for the first entry is still 15 days, and the longest stay period of 30 days can only be enjoyed after the three-year multiple-entry visa is activated. The applicant's spouse and minor children can apply together even if their income does not meet the requirements, and one person can stay in Japan for up to 30 days at a time.
Five-year multiple entry visa
Facts have proved that "high salary" is indeed a passport for high-paying people! Japan's five-year multiple-entry visa is only open to people with an annual income of more than 500,000.
As long as you can provide basic application materials and tax proof of the corresponding amount of annual salary, or a running bill marked with salary and bonus on the salary card for at least half a year, you can meet the application requirements and enjoy the following freedoms:
1. There is no requirement for previous travel experience in Japan when applying;
2. There is no restriction on the place to go to Japan for the first time after obtaining a visa;
3. The visa is valid for 5 years, with a maximum stay of 90 days each time;
4. Like the three-year multiple visa, the spouse and minor children of the applicant can apply together even if their income does not meet the requirements, and one person can stay in Japan for up to 30 days at a time.
