Even if the applicant doesn’t enter or departs Japan within 15 days, Visa Transit automatically invalidated.

  • You can stay up to 15 days per visit.
  • Transit visas are for travelers who are making a brief stopover in Japan while en-route to another country.

Important Notes: For nationals of non-visa exemption countries and regions, please contact your airline(s) to confirm whether or not you will go through the Customs and Immigration area at the transferring airport.
