How it worksJapan's online eVISA is based on your country of residence, not your nationality: you apply through the Japanese embassy/consulate (or its accredited visa centre) that covers where you live. A direct self-service eVISA is offered to residents of some jurisdictions (e.g. Australia, Canada, the UK, USA, Saudi Arabia); residents of others - including India, China, the Philippines and Vietnam - can only get the eVISA through a government-accredited travel agency, and most apply in person via VFS Global. Japan has no visa on arrival or ETA.
