Applying for Japan visa on a Pakistani passport is so easy that it makes me wonder why do people not visit there as frequently as they do to other destinations. I got mine in 5 days without any hassle or difficulty. Disclaimer: Although this guide does not guarantee any one a visa but it will answer all the questions you may have regarding the process.
DOCUMENTS REQUIRED FOR TOURIST VISA
- Hotel bookings
Reserve free-cancellation, no pre-payment accommodation, this does not need to be actual reservation, if you like you can change these later.
- Return air ticket booking
Get a dummy reservation from a travel agent or book a ticket confirmation that is held for 24/48 hours, take a print out and use it.
- Itinerary
Download the form and fill it with your day by day plan. The form is simple, only asks you to fill in your activity for the day and the whereabouts of your accommodation. Even if you haven’t finalized an itinerary, just find the key places to visit in the cities you are visiting and mention them.
- 6-month bank statement & account maintenance letter
If you are financing your own trip then this has to be your own statement, otherwise it will be of whoever is your sponsor. Make sure that the amount you are showing in your bank statement makes logical sense based on your ticket price, hotel bookings and the estimated daily expenses during your stay. Tokyo is one of the most expensive cities of the world, plan accordingly.
- Letter from employer, verifying your occupation
This letter needs to state your position, designation, NIC number, salary and the time since you are working at the said company; signed by your employer, basically confirming that you actually work where you are saying you do.
- No objection certificate from your employer
This second letter from your employer needs to state that your leaves for traveling have been approved and they have no issue. Also, mention the days and dates your leave is sanctioned for.
- Passport
Current & all previous passports, no photocopy required
- Original ID card & 1 photocopy
This will only be used to enter the embassy, they will not keep only the copy not the original.
- Filled visa application form
Download the form, it is a very simple two-page document, if you need clarity on any question, dial their number and they will be happy to help.
- One photo pasted on the form
Photo requirements are basic. If you have a photo that is slightly bigger than the box on the form, they will not mind you using it.
FAQs
- What is the fee? There is no visa fee
- How many days does it take? 5 working days
- Do they call for an interview? usually no, but they may
- Do they give a reason for refusal? No
- When can I re-apply if is rejected? After 6 months
- What is the validity period? 3 months from the date of issue
- How many days of entry do they give? As per your itinerary
- How to submit the documents? No travel agent required, one of the applicants can go and submit on behalf of every other applicant

It’s so surprising that there’s no visa fee for Japan. I haven’t ever been to Japan but my dad went there on a business trip several years ago. However, I wasn’t aware about the absence of the visa fee. How cool!

Hi i wont Visit visa Japan but here im Lived in Saudia Arabia but i will come back next month in home country Pakistan.Now told me how much expencive for visit
how much expense for Japan you mean??
If you want to do a very budget trip you can do it in around 200,000 PKR for 10 days.
The form has a section where a guarantor/reference person details are required … What to fill out in that section? Since I don’t have a reference contact there
If you are mentioning tourism as your trip’s purpose you can leave it empty. That’s what I did too!

Japan is one of the countries where life is so charming and impressive that cannot go out from your memories till death.
I spent 6 months over there. Uptill now I have travelled more then 50 countries in the world, but the time that I spent in Japan is unforgettable. I love Japan and Japanese peoples too.
Regards
You are welcome. I’m already falling in love reading Lonely Planet Japan, while planning the trip.:)
Anam please consider writing about how to make no pre-payment, free cancellation bookings online. Or if there’s a relevant blog kindly share that with us for guidance!
Stay awesome xx
Nida, you can do it very easily on booking.com. When you are browsing the hotels, just look for the “free cancellation. no pre-payment” phrase. I will sure write about that too!

Iím not that much of a online reader to be honest but your blogs really nice, keep it up! I’ll go ahead and bookmark your website to come back later. All the best
awww. thank you so much Alicia! <3
Thank you for writing this blog. I have few questions:
1. Did you apply at Islamabad or Karachi embassy?
2. Was personal visit required when collecting passport?
I applied in Karachi. Yes either one of the applicants is required in person to collect it.
Anam one last query, I saw that you received your JR Rail pass on ur snapchat, the voucher comes via FedEx only? is that the only option and how long did it take to reach you?
thanks
it took literally 3 days. Yes, that is the only option on the authorised website everyone orders from.
Hey Anam, I will be traveling to Osaka, Japan in 1st week of April to attend a conference. While looking on internet how to get Japanese visa, I bumped into your blog. It’s so inspiring and refreshing to a see Pakistani girl like you. I too have an adventurous and beautiful three years of independent life in Kuala Lumpur while pursuing higher education with little amount of money I saved from a small salary and taking a risk to enroll in a program for which I had tuition fee of one semester only. An experience everyone keeps on telling me that I should share with the world by writing. Anyhow, I am just curious to know why you picked Japan this time because every destination you pick has a reason/attraction for you. What was your attraction for Japan that took you there?
Hey Ayesha. It is so refreshing to meet a like minded adventurer soul, specially a woman. If you have enough travel stories/experiences, write them away! And as you will write, you’ll re-live those memories. And you can come back to it and it in future and will be feel like the whole thing flash back infront of your eyes. So yea, it won’t just be for others, but very much for yourself as well. That is how I started.
And Japan. oh well. In 2013 I came across a Tokyo documentary by the famous celebrity chef-cum-traveler http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5871v6 I saw it, and since then Japan was on my list as a special destination. I think the crazy wild and unique character of this place drew me. This year I turned 30 and it was time for a special trip. And hence Japan happened. 🙂
Hey I m interested to visit Japan but I m still struggling to get tourist visa form

Hello.
Thank you so much for detailing the process to obtain a visa for Japan.
I was wondering if you could pen a blog about the daily expenses one should budget for as many in our country are apprehensive about visiting Japan given its reputation as one of the most expensive locations in the world.
Thank you once again.
Thank you for requesting it. I will do it soon!

Hi
I need to know about travel itinerary
How to prepare a travel itinerary and where to download form?
It is nothing you need to download from.
Just make a table, put against each date, whether you’d be travelling from place A to place B (mention flight/train bus details), or whether you’d be doing a certain tour/activity and write the name of hotel you’d be staying at against each date. Thats it. That’s your itinerary…. what will you be doing on what date and where will you be staying.

You’re excellent resource for our country Anum. Keep it up!
thanks!
Hi Anam. As always it was refreshing to read your blog about Japan. You girl are quite an inspiration!
So I have one small query and thought you might be able to guide. I’m planning to visit Japan next month and had spoken to my travel agent /consultant earlier today. He mentioned the requirement of an NTN certificate along with the rest of the documents you’d mentioned. This is a bit of a glitch since I don’t have it. Could you tell me if that was actually required since i didn’t come across it in your list of documents. Would appreciate your help. Thanks!
Glad you asked. So I went without it because it wasnt there in list of docs required. But the guy who was taking my application form asked me if I my tax challans (not NTN certificate). I told him, I dont have it right now but I can bring it. He said call us tomorrow, and we will tell you whether we want you to bring it or not. And when I called next day, they said we dont need it. So may be it varies case to case basis. They need it from some people. If you dont have your NTN you can still go without it, I dont think they would need it UNLESS you are a business owner. I am not. And if you are employed somwhere, they may ask for your tax challans.
Hi Anam
I got the tourist Visa for Japan following exactly your guidance

Dear Anam,
I hope you’re doing well and thank you for writing this and many other wonderful articles on your website. I came across your website yesterday whilst searching for something on Google and have been hooked to it ever since then.
I read through this rather popular article of yours since I am planning to go to Japan in a month’s time and had a few questions to ask from you. I’ll be really thankful to you if you can answer them. First of all, inside the application form, there’s a section for ‘Guarantor or reference in Japan’. As a part of the requirements, it’s mentioned that this is not required for a tourist visa so should I just leave this part unfilled?
Also, I am not sure about this but if you applied as an employed person bearing the expenses of the trip yourself, did you attach your salary slips along with the application?
Looking forward to hear from you. Thank you.
Leave the guarantor section, its not needed for tourist visa.
Salary slips are also not required. But there is no harm if you give them.
Hey Anam,,,
I have not sponsper or relative who can give my gurantee for tourist japan visa according to mention visa application form…..can i apply without guranter
there is not “guarantee” required. Only the bank documents of the person paying for your trip. If that is you yourself, then you need to give your bank documents.
Aoa
If my japan visitor visa is rejected. Then Japanes embassy rejection stamped on my passport or visa application form.
Please send me detail
no

Hi anam.my son plays online games now he wants to go japan for compition we belongs t a poor family which documents required for this purpose.can a family friend sponsors us for this visa.thanks
Hey anam can we apply for visit visa i have no job and also no NTN …i am student of bachelors but my wife is japnese living in japan can i go on visit visa to japan …or tell me that our job is must for applying visa
Thanks
Job or no job, you must show bank details of who ever is paying for this trip. And obviously your relation to that person. And your case is unique, if you are a student and have a Japanese wife living in Japan, you may be eligible for some kind of a spouse visa, like a lot of other countries do. Best is that you call the Japanese embassy in Pakistan and ask them about your case or ask your wife to get this information for you from Japan.
Thanks anam !
Dear,I m teacher in Pakistan, I want to on visit visa to Japan. Can I apply through Internet, I mean online,if yes than how.secondly I have heard that those people who goes to Japan on tourist visa and there they find a good chance of anything. Then they can charge their visa .is it clear.
You must read what I have written above.
your second question, I have no idea. I write about tourist visas only.
Hi Anam
just search on google about japan visa for pakistani and found your link and its really intresting so decide to write you and need some friendly help
we have little same case as you
actually my younger sister aged 24 willing to visit japan on tourist visa, she unmarried and unemployed and she have own enough money in her own bank accounts around 1 million PKR as well as funds in Govt National Saving Certificates
she finicially supported by her family members (siblings) and Parents
so want know that as she so young and single unmarried and have NO job and NO NTN or NO any previous travel history so she STILL able to get japan tourist visa approval?
by the way which other countries you also visited too? like singapore malaysia europe uk etc?
we are karachi based
possible she talk with you over email or skype?
waiting for your friendly response back
Kind Regards

Hello, I loved your blog. The Japanese visa form seems easy enough. I wanted to ask you if I can use the Japanese consulate in Lahore to submit my app?
Hey, thanks a lot Amna. I got this info from Google about lahore embassy, not sure if it is correct, best way is call the khi or islamabad embassy and ask them about it. Heres what i got from google:
Honorary Consul General of Japan in Lahore
64-Block-XX, Khayaban-e-Iqbal, DHA, Phase-III, Lahore
Tel: +92-(0)42-3713-2636-39, and 042-3713-2644 & 2649

hello sir how are you ?
i need visa,can you help me?
What if you are not employed currently :S Nice blog anyway , got great information about cambodia and japan visa .
thanks. If you are not employed pls show all the required money in your bank account. Also, they will ask you why do you want to go visit Japan. Because usually an unemployed person would not be visiting a country for tourism purpose. Unless, you are in between two jobs and are about to start at a new place.

Are you bingo sure they would issue visa without any sponsor from japan? Because i just reached out to the documents required by Japan’s consulate for visa, the first requirement i saw; i must have letter of invitation from the person who is going to invite me to Japan.
I travelled to Japan in november 2017, applied a tourist visa, which had no requirement of “invitation”, that is how I got to know for sure. Where did you get this documents list for tourist visa?
i want to apply for japan visit visa i m Govt. Servant but unfortunately i have no bank statement . can u tell me that bank statement is essential for japan visit visa?????

Dear All this is to inform you that these days getting tourist visa for Japan is impossible because they are refusing almost all the cases as their Visa issuing Authority is involve in Corruption they selling visa to agents who are selling this visa in 10 to 15 lac to the needy peoples you can easily find these agents on OLX Karachi in visa and travel section where they are offering the services on done basis in 10 to 15 lac.
Why permenent visa is cancelled for 16 year old.why they did not gave visa for 16 year old.after cancellation of visa when a person can re-apply.

Hello Anam,
You mentioned in one of the above answers to a comment that Rs.200,000 would be required for 10 days, I have following questions:
1. Does that amount include the ticket price as well or is it after arrival expense?
2. Did you plan this trip exclusively to visit Japan or did you included other countries on the way?
3. Is it possible to get the details of the visit, the itinerary where you visited?
4. Which cities did you visited there and which was the most beautiful or you can say that was the highlight of your trip.
Thanks

Hi, I am 19 years old and planning to visit japan for a programme/ event there. I have already received a visa support pack from the organization there.

I am also planning on staying a few extra days and have already found a sponsor there so will adding two invi any problem? Because my event hosts have provided letter for only the dates of the event.

I have a 10-hour layover in Osaka. Is a visa required in this case? If yes, does it have to be a tourist visa or a transit visa? Looking to make sure if exploring the city would be worth the documentation hassle.
not sure
And now they also stamp the last page of your passport if visa is denied. So please bear in mind.
Are you sure?
I must make the edit then.
