FAQ for Indian applicants
Can Indian citizens apply for a Japan eVisa online?+
Yes. Short-term tourism applications from India are accepted through the MOFA JAPAN eVisa system, removing the need for an in-person sticker visa for most travellers.
Does Japan require a day-by-day itinerary from Indian applicants?+
Yes, and it is checked. Each night must map to a confirmed accommodation, and unexplained gaps commonly cause queries or refusal.
Can I print the Japan eVisa?+
No. The Japan eVisa is verified digitally at immigration from your smartphone, so save the issuance notice offline before you fly.
How much bank balance do Indian applicants need for Japan?+
There is no fixed minimum, but statements should comfortably cover the itinerary — roughly USD 100 per day plus flights — supported by your latest ITR.
Is the Japan eVisa multiple entry?+
The eVisa is issued as single entry for short-term stay. Multiple-entry visas remain a consulate process with additional travel-history requirements.
