Frequently asked Questions

 How to change single entry visa to multiple entry visa in Japan?

Currently, a single-entry visa issued by the Embassy or Consulate of Japan cannot be converted directly into a multiple-entry visa once it is issued. Visa holders who wish to make multiple visits to Japan must reapply for a new visa and undergo the full visa application process again. This involves submitting updated documents to the relevant consulate or Japan Visa Application Centre (JVAC).

To proceed, visa applicants must submit a new visa application rather than request a visa transfer of the issued visa.

What are the visa fees applied for the Single Entry Visa Application from LMI Consultancy?

For those planning a short-term stay in Japan, LMI Consultancy provides comprehensive support for obtaining a single-entry visa to enter Japan. The consultation fee is excluding government or JVAC processing fees.

Please note: The visa fee includes assistance with document preparation, submission to the Japan Visa Application Centre, and guidance through the steps leading to visa issuance. Pricing may vary based on urgency or complexity of application.

Is Single Entry Visa to Japan eligible for a visa extension?

No, a single-entry visa to Japan is not eligible for extension once issued. According to official visa information from the Embassy of Japan, visa applicants who wish to visit Japan longer than 90 days must apply for a different visa category before entering Japan.

Once the visa is used or expires, the applicant must return to their home country and submit a new application for an extended stay, if applicable.

Can I process the Single Entry Japan Visa online?

No, a visa application cannot be processed fully online. While applicants may fill out preliminary forms digitally, submission must still be made in person through the JVAC (Japan Visa Application Centre) or an approved agency like LMI Consultancy. Processing generally takes 5–10 working days, though it may take longer during peak periods or if documents are incomplete.

Indonesia is not part of the Japan visa waiver program, so a visa is required for all Indonesian passport holders.

Are there any Japan visit visa types that allow me multiple entries to Japan?

Yes, Japan offers several types of multiple-entry Japanese visas for eligible applicants. These are generally issued for business travelers, repeat tourists, or those with strong financial standing. A multiple-entry visa allows multiple visits to Japan, usually with a stay of up to 90 days per visit.

The processing time is typically 5–10 business days, depending on documentation and approval from the Japanese consulate.
