Japan Tourist Visa for Colombian citizens

Thinking about a trip to Japan from Colombia? We've got your visa application covered.

Applying for a visa can be a bit of a challenge, but it shouldn't keep you from your dream of exploring Japan. We're here to make this necessary step easier for you.

Let us handle the visa details so you can plan the fun parts of your trip, like strolling under the cherry blossoms in Tokyo, visiting Kyoto's ancient temples, or wandering through the bustling fish markets of Fukuoka. Let’s get started.

Do Colombian citizens need a Japan Tourist Visa?

Colombians planning a trip to Japan must get a visa before entering the country.

If you’re a legal resident in one of the following countries, you can apply for a Japan eVisa: Australia, Brazil, Cambodia, Canada, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Africa, Taiwan, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, or USA. The eVisa can only be used for tourism, and you must enter Japan by air.

However, if your place of residence is Colombia or you want to travel to Japan for reasons other than tourism, you’ll need to apply for a Japan Tourist Visa instead.

Currently, we only handle single-entry visa applications, which allows for a stay of 15 or 30 days and is valid for three months. If you want a multiple-entry tourist visa with a validity of up to 5 years, please check out the Embassy of Japan in Colombia website for more information on how to apply.
