Transit Visa

For travelers who are stopping over in Japan en route to another country due to flight schedules.

• Nationals of visa-exempt countries/regions (including Canadians) do not need a transit visa. For others, basically, those who pass through immigration on their way to a third country need a transit visa. Those who do not pass through immigration do not need a visa. Since this depends on the flights and the airport, applicants should check with their airlines to make sure. Activities in Japan are limited to sightseeing, recreation, rest, etc., and do not include visits to relatives/acquaintances.

Requirements:

1. Valid passport (The passport must be valid for your entire visit in Japan.)
2. Application form
3. One photo taken within the last 6 months (45 mm x 35 mm or 2 in × 1.4 in)
4. Proof of your status in Canada (Permanent Residence Card, work permit, study permit)
5. Return airline ticket or flight itinerary provided by an airline company or travel agency (Please note that we are not responsible for tickets which are unusable due to delay or denial of visa.)
6. Fee in cash - payable when you receive your visa.
