Overview

Japan’s tourist visa is unusual: the government fee is nominal (around ₹500 for single entry), but the paperwork standard is high. The consulate expects a precise day-by-day itinerary in its own prescribed format, matched exactly to your flight and hotel bookings, plus solid financials. As a Japan visa specialist, Explera builds that schedule and document set to the format the consulate expects.

Applications are submitted through VFS Japan and there is normally no interview — decisions rest almost entirely on the quality and consistency of your file. Standard processing is about 5–10 working days once lodged, so we recommend applying 3–4 weeks before travel, especially for cherry-blossom (late March–April) and autumn-foliage (November) season, when volumes spike.

Beyond single-entry tourism, we handle multiple-entry visas (granted on travel history and financial standing, valid up to 5 years), visits to relatives or friends in Japan with a guarantor, and short-term business trips. Japan also offers a separate e-visa channel for eligible Indian travellers booking through registered agents — Explera confirms which route is fastest for your specific case.

Why Japan visas get refused — and how we prevent it

Most refusals come down to avoidable mistakes. Explera pre-screens every application against each of these before we file:

!

Incomplete, inconsistent or poorly-scanned documents

!

Insufficient or unexplained bank balance and unclear funding

!

Passport valid for less than 6 months or without blank pages

!

Weak travel history or an unconvincing purpose of visit for first-time applicants

!

Unconfirmed or unrealistic itinerary, tickets or hotel bookings

Tips for a smooth Japan visa

  • Keep your passport valid at least 6 months beyond your Japan travel dates, with 2+ blank pages.
  • Maintain a healthy, steady bank balance for 3–6 months before you apply — sudden large deposits raise questions.
  • Apply early: start your Japan visa at least 3–4 weeks before departure to absorb any delay.
  • Bundle your visa with flights, hotels and insurance through Explera — a complete, consistent file approves faster.
