Like many other countries around the world, Vietnamese travelers must secure a visa to enter Japan, and this process can sometimes be quite challenging. Let's take a look at the essential steps and helpful tips with Mytour.vn to ensure your visa application to Japan goes smoothly.
Applying for a Japan Visa and Key Considerations
What are the requirements to apply for a Japan visa?
In addition to the general requirement of being a Vietnamese citizen or a foreigner with legal residency in Vietnam, you will have a much higher chance if you have previously held visas to developed countries in Europe, the Americas, or Australia, or if you have entry/exit stamps from major ASEAN countries like Thailand or Singapore.
Your chances of successfully obtaining a visa to Japan are also greater if you have a salary above 1,000 USD and have years of work experience.
Furthermore, having acquaintances in Japan who are employed in intellectual professions with high earnings can be a significant advantage.
What documents are required for applying for a Japan visa?
- A passport with at least 6 months of validity remaining.
- The visa application form must be completely filled out with all necessary information and signed. The form should be completed in either English or Japanese.
- A passport-sized photo (4.5cm x 4.5cm) taken within the last 3 months is required.
- A printed confirmation of your flight booking to Japan and hotel reservation in Japan is required. If you are not staying at a hotel but instead staying at a homestay or with friends or relatives, you need to provide the exact address of your accommodation and a contact phone number in your itinerary.
- Proof of financial stability: Savings book, Salary slip, etc.
- Proof of employment: Employment contract (if you are an employee), Business registration certificate with your name, or Appointment letter (if you are a business owner).
- A detailed itinerary for your trip to Japan including: Places to visit, dates, overnight accommodations, modes of transport, etc. All information should be as clear and detailed as possible.
You need to prepare all the necessary documents for your Japan visa application.

Some Important Considerations When Preparing and Submitting Your Visa Application for Japan
- All documents in the visa application must be notarized in English if they are not bilingual. Without the English version, the application cannot be completed.
- If you receive an invitation for a visa interview, it is essential to be well-prepared in English or Japanese. You will be asked to briefly explain the purpose and reasons behind your decision to choose Japan as your destination. When attending the interview, ensure you are dressed appropriately, present yourself professionally, be swift, and provide clear, concise answers.
During the visa interview, make sure to dress properly, exhibit an energetic demeanor, and respond in a brief, to-the-point manner.
