Traveling to Japan as a tourist? Here’s our latest visa application guide with the LIST OF JAPAN VISA REQUIREMENTS and STEP-BY-STEP APPLICATION PROCESS. We added a detailed guide on HOW TO FILL OUT JAPAN VISA APPLICATION FORM. And as a bonus, we also answered some frequently asked questions. Note that this is for those applying as tourists.
Geographically Japan isn’t too far from the Philippines, and a good number of airlines fly to its major cities from Manila. Most Filipinos, however, feel that this amazing East Asian country is far more distant than it actually is. One reason is the visa requirement.
Visas are always a major hurdle for many Filipino travelers. One look at the list of requirements and some already feel intimidated by it. Who can blame them? I felt exactly the same. This feeling had kept me from booking flights to Tokyo or Osaka, even during a PISO SALE and I spotted several promo fares. But the call of Japan was too much for me to ignore that I finally snagged one of them last year and hoped that I could make it through the visa process I dreaded.
To my surprise, it wasn’t bad. Not bad at all.
