The Japan eVISA system is open to foreign nationals who require a short-term tourist visa (such as citizens of Pakistan, India, China, Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia, Russia, and South Africa) and who legally reside in an eligible jurisdiction—including the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Australia, Brazil, Cambodia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Africa, Taiwan, or the United Arab Emirates—when traveling to Japan by air for a single-entry tourism stay.
Yes! If you hold a Pakistani (PAK) or Indian (IND) passport and are a legal long-term resident of the UK (with a valid UK eVisa Share Code / ILR / work or student visa), the USA (Green Card or valid H1B/F1/L1 visa), Canada, Australia, UAE, or Saudi Arabia, you can apply online for your single-entry Japan Tourist eVISA without mailing your physical passport to the Japanese Embassy.
Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs rules strictly state that printed paper copies, PDF files, or static phone screenshots of the Japan eVISA ('Visa Issuance Notice') are NOT accepted at airline check-in. You must have live mobile data or airport Wi-Fi at departure to log in and display the live 'Visa Issuance Notice' screen with its moving countdown timer.
No commercial agency or third-party facilitator can guarantee visa approval. All visa decisions rest exclusively with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan (MOFA) and Japanese diplomatic missions. NomadicMart is an independent application concierge service not affiliated with the Government of Japan or evisa.mofa.go.jp.
No. Citizens of 71 visa-exempt countries and regions—including British Citizen (GBR), US, Canadian, Australian, and EU passports—enter Japan visa-free for up to 90 days and only need to register their immigration and customs QR codes on Visit Japan Web prior to landing at Tokyo Haneda (HND), Narita (NRT), or Osaka Kansai (KIX).
