For most people, free travel in Japan is still full of longing. Everyone hopes to have a good time in Japan for a few days and experience the unique cultural charm and delicious food in Japan, but it is not easy to get a visa in Japan. Here are some detailed visa strategies for free travel in Japan.

Japan is now relaxing its visa policy, so it will only be easier to apply for a Japanese visa! Everyone complains that it is difficult to apply for a Japanese visa, but it is only because there are more materials to be prepared for a Japanese visa. If the travel agency handles it, the materials needed are different for different packages, so you can pay less for more money. Next, I will tell you in detail how to apply for a Japanese tourist visa! Types of Japanese tourist visas

Japanese tourist visas cannot be handled by themselves like American visas, and qualified travel agencies must be selected to handle them. In fact, there are many advantages to entrusting a travel agency, not only can you have a Commissioner to help you with the data review, but you don't have to run back and forth in your own consulate. If you choose a higher-priced package, the travel agency will also guarantee you and reduce the required information. However, although there is a travel agency, when applying for a Japanese tourist visa, you should also pay attention to submitting complete information, so that the chances of winning the visa will be greater!

There are many types of visas in Japan, including individual travel visas, team visas, three-year multiple-entry visas and five-year multiple-entry visas. However, as this is your first trip to Japan, you'd better apply for a personal tourist visa. Individual travel visas are generally valid for 9 days, and you can stay in Japan for no more than 15 days in a single round trip. Generally speaking, the visa can be issued within 1 working days after the application materials are submitted ~ the materials needed to apply for a Japanese tourist visa

(1) Basic information: a valid passport with a validity period of more than 6 months, two color photos taken on a white background within 3 months, a copy of the household registration book, an ID card, a visa application form, asset proof documents (copies of deposit certificate, bank account, wealth management products, real estate license, vehicle production certificate, etc.), and If you are married, you should also submit a copy of your marriage certificate ~

(2) Different groups of people need to submit other materials: if you are a student, you should submit a certificate of study and a copy of your student ID card; If you are an on-the-job employee, you should provide the on-the-job certificate issued by the company and copy the business license of the enterprise; If you are a freelancer, you should submit as much information as possible to prove that you have the money to support the expenses of traveling in Japan and will not stay in Japan illegally. Other tips

(1) The visa refusal rate in Japan is still quite high, so the information filled in and submitted should be 1% true and valid.

(2) If you travel to Japan alone, the visa refusal rate will be higher. You'd better find a few friends or family members to go with you!

(3) If the visa is refused, you can't submit the application again within 6 months, so don't worry too much. Visa conditions for free travel in Japan

Japan is a highly developed modern country with a good social security environment and a fresh natural environment. Japanese people have a strong sense of environmental protection, and the protection of cultural relics is also relatively perfect. You can travel to Japan. Let's share the visa conditions for free travel in Japan in 217.

In other words, the problem of free travel in Japan is really endless. I just updated the detailed rules of several consular districts for relaxing the policy in another question, and found that there is another exact question here.

The handling answer is always not very good, so I won't talk too much about it here. The detailed and complete version of the Japanese tourist visa application guide is here, including the latest single-application, three-year and five-year multiple application requirements of each consular district, which will definitely make you feel compelled to come in.

can an individual sign it?

personal signing is not supported, and it must go through a qualified travel agency or agency.

why are the requirements for property certificates different? Why do travel agencies require different property certificates? Some require 1W running water, some say it is not necessary, and some need extra diplomatic deposit? Because some property certificates do not need to enter the consulate, but they are necessary-as long as there is a case of staying in a black household, the travel agency may be disqualified. Therefore, businesses that don't need any running water are walking on a tightrope, while those who want to pay extra deposits are somewhat cautious. How to break it? Just find the normal requirements (generally, a single signing requires 1W running water).

how to avoid running water for a credit card gold card? In the latest relaxation policy, there is an endless stream of people asking about the exemption of credit card gold cards from running water. Basically, they are the following questions:

Q: Is platinum card ok? Is a titanium card all right? Is the Singnature card okay?

A: The consulate stipulates that the card type is gold or above, and there is no specific card type. Theoretically, the above three types belong to gold or above, but at present, we can only say that the platinum card has the highest success rate, because it is a common card type; The other two need to wait for examples before they can be conclusive. So I can only say that I can give it a try. If you are not at ease, it is best not to choose a minority card.

Q: do you need the original card? Do I need to print the statement?

A: different consular districts have different needs, and the Beijing consular district provides a copy of the front and back colors, as well as the last consumption voucher (SMS screenshot, running water and credit card voucher can be used); Shanghai consular district provides the original card, with the consumption records/statements for the past three months;

the consular district of Guangzhou shall provide copies in front and back colors, and attach the consumption records/statements for the past three months.

Q: do I need to provide proof of income if I have provided a credit card?

A: yes, the credit card is exempt from running bills, but the proof of income &; Proof of employment is still necessary.

Q: is it helpful to apply for a gold card for three years?

A: no, the gold card is only for one time, and it can be exempted from running water.

is there any risk of visa refusal?

1. The risk of visa refusal is very small, but it is not without it. Japan will put a black box on the last page of the passport when it fails to issue a visa, which can be divided into the following situations: being accepted, being removed, terminating, and refusing.

being accepted: it means that the visa is being accepted by the consulate, and the applicant needs to use his passport, so he should apply to the consulate for lending his passport and return it to the consulate for further examination after use.

Take off: It means that when the visa is being accepted, the applicant can't go to Japan suddenly because of something, so he applies to the consulate for cancellation. (It has no influence on future visa application)

Termination: one kind of visa that has not been signed out has a relatively light influence on future visa application, so you can apply for a visa again immediately.

visa refusal: one type of visa that has not been issued, commonly known as "visa refusal", has a relatively heavy impact on future visa applications in Japan, and similar visas can only be applied after half a year.

2. What are the reasons for being refused a visa? List some common ones.

The contents of the application are untrue, the passport is untrue and valid, the applicant has been sentenced to more than one year's imprisonment and has been involved in criminal activities such as drugs, marijuana, stimulants, prostitution, etc., the illegal stay in Japan has not been allowed to enter the country after being forcibly repatriated, young single women (many single women have applied for Japanese business visas and stayed in Japan in recent two years), Fujian, Northeast China, Single women registered in Henan and other places (for the same reason as above), single people tend to stay in Japan, the embassy's telephone verification finds that it is inconsistent with the information submitted,

the embassy requires visa applicants to supplement the corresponding materials, and it is considered that they may engage in activities that harm the interests of Japan or the interests of the public, which may pose potential threats to Japanese public security.

can you express it? There is no express option, and it usually takes 4-5 working days in the library, so it takes an average of 6-7 working days from sending the materials to getting the visa. So the so-called "rush" you see is fake, but the travel agency helps you rush into the library. However, isn't it right to review the information on the same day and deliver it to the consulate the next day? At least our company is this standard.

As a person who regularly flies to Japan to eat, drink and have fun, it is not difficult to apply for a Japanese tourist visa! Don't be frightened by rumors. I am often asked about the three puzzles of signing a daily contract: whether to bind the order of machine wine or not?

do you want to pay a deposit of 5, yuan? Why do I need XX materials instead of XX materials?

these questions will be answered in detail later.

let's talk about the pit I encountered when I first did it. At that time, I was a college student, and I was hired by a travel agency, and I was asked to pay 5 in the middle! Wan! Security deposit! I was devastated at that time. Why didn't you tell me in advance? I had to borrow money from my family and stumbled for half a month before I signed it. I don't want to trust the travel agency anymore.

Let's start from the beginning with the details about getting a Japanese visa: 1. What kinds of visas are there? (1) Individual tourist visa to Japan

An individual tourist visa that can only enter and leave Japan once, with a validity period of 9 days and a maximum stay of 15 days. This is what I usually do when I go to Japan for the first time. (2) A single team travel visa to Japan. For traveling with a group. (3) Three-year multiple-entry visa

(4) Five-year multiple-entry visa This is routine, and you need to provide an order for organic wine; In addition, there are other types such as machine-free wine: (1) tourist visa-part of the territory (free of air tickets and hotel orders) (2) tourist visa-part of the territory (minimal information)

(3) tourist visa-part of the territory-Okinawa one-time second, what information should I prepare? Different territories and different occupational conditions require different materials. Take the ordinary single-visit visa to Japan+employees as examples: (1) original passport

(2)2-inch photo with white background (recent) (3) ID card (4) household registration book (5) company qualification certificate (6) employment certificate (7) bank current: 1, (8) marital status

(9) auxiliary assets. It also needs to be provided:

(1) The running water in my name should reflect the total income of more than 2, yuan a year (excluding fund management and the last large deposit), but only 1, applicants who have been to Japan in three years are required.

(2) When using a three-year multiple-entry visa for the first time, you must stay in Okinawa or three northeastern counties (Iwate, Miyagi and Fukushima) for at least one night.

In addition to the above materials, you must also provide:

(1) Personal tax payment certificate for the last year (annual tax payment is more than 8,).

if you are not on the job, you can choose the corresponding product according to your own situation. When you can't provide some materials, you can choose minimal information-the advantage is that you don't have to provide employment certificates and bank flow. In addition, any developed country with a passport that has been to the OECD can also choose minimal information.

mainland China has seven consular districts: Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, Guangzhou, Qingdao, Shenyang and Dalian. The materials required for each consular district are slightly different, so there will be cases where other consular districts don't need them and you may need to hand in some materials. But the deposit is 5 thousand-definitely not required by the consulate! Never believe it.

If you have any questions about the children's shoes that are not clear about the daily signing, you can add me to wechat：panda276 or ask in the comment area, and I will reply in time!

finally, a friendly reminder: you must be careful when you apply for a visa to travel freely to Japan.
