Japan Tourist VisaHow do you obtain a Japan tourist visa for travel to Japan? Well, if you're a U.S. citizen, thanks to reciprocal visa exemption arrangements with Japan, all you need is this:
When going through entry procedures upon your arrival in Japan, the passport inspector will probably ask you why you are coming to Japan. If you're entering Japan with your passport, you should say that you're there for travel (or business). In other words, make sure that your stated purpose for entering Japan matches the type of visa you have (in this case, just your passport for travel or business purposes), or you might not be allowed into the country. During your 90-day stay with your passport acting as your Japan tourist visa, you will not be permitted to work or study. You will also not be allowed to extend your stay. For stays of longer than 90 days, you'll either need to leave the country and re-enter it for a new 90-day period, or you'll need to obtain a separate visa for your intended purpose, such as a Japan work visa or student visa (although even in that case you will usually be required to leave the country and return when changing your visa status). Other countries also have similar "visa free" arrangements with Japan.
