Common Questions

Is Japan visa waiver free for Indonesians?

Yes, Indonesian e-passport holders are eligible for the Japan visa waiver program. However, you must first register your e-passport in advance at the Embassy of Japan or Consulate General of Japan in Indonesia before your departure. Once approved, you can enter Japan multiple times for short-term stays of up to 15 days per visit, without needing to obtain a visa in advance.

Consulting with a trusted visa consultant will cost you a bit, but it is highly recommended to ensure you meet all the requirements.

Can I apply for Japan Visa Waiver with non Indonesian passport?

No, the Japan visa waiver program through e-passport registration is specifically for Indonesian passport holders. If you hold a non-Indonesian passport, you are not eligible for this waiver, even if you are currently applying in Indonesia or residing in the country.

Applicants without an Indonesian passport who wish to visit Japan from Indonesia must apply through standard visa channels based on their nationality’s agreement with Japan, and follow visa procedures as outlined by the Embassy of Japan in Indonesia or their home country. It is advisable to consult with a visa consultant to determine the best course of action based on your passport, immigration status, and travel purpose.

Can I use e-passport to apply for JapanVisa?

Yes, e-passport holders from Indonesia can either register for the visa waiver or use the passport as part of the regular Japan visa application process, depending on their travel purpose.

When applying for a visa (outside the waiver scheme), applicants must complete the visa application form, select the correct visa type (such as tourist, business, or visit relative), and provide supporting documents.

Can I convert my Visa Waiver to other Visit Visas?

No, once you enter Japan using this visa, you cannot convert it to another visa type or extend your stay beyond 15 days. If you wish to stay in Japan for a longer period or for other purposes (such as work, study, or family stay), you must obtain the correct visa in advance before entering the country. Once your waiver period expires, you must exit Japan and apply from outside if needed.

Do I need to undergo Biometric process to apply for a Visa Waiver?

No, biometric data is not required for those registering under the Japan visa waiver program using an Indonesian e-passport. However, for official passport holders and applicants applying for other visa types, biometric procedures may be required as part of the standard process set by Japanese immigration.
