💡 Pro Tips
- Apply 2–3 weeks before travel — 5 working days is the minimum, but Embassy can extend.
- Japan has rolled out Multiple-Entry visas for Indian travellers with Japan travel history (Multiple 1-7). If you've been to Japan twice in 3 years, the Multiple visa is much easier to get than a fresh tourist visa.
- Income Tax Returns (ITR) are always accepted; bank statements are the fallback. Submit both when applying for Multiple entry visas.
- For Student/Dependent applicants: always include parent/spouse's ITR + consent letter.
- Photocopies on A4 only — other sizes cause rejection at VFS counter.
Common Rejection Reasons
- 1.G7 travel history not shown (only non-G7 travel)
- 2.Japan travel older than 3 years
- 3.Financial documentation insufficient
