Understanding visa requirements for Vietnamese citizens

  • All Vietnamese citizens need a tourist visa to enter Japan

  • The visa must be obtained before traveling

  • Single-entry visas are most common for first-time visitors

The Japanese government requires Vietnamese citizens to obtain a tourist visa, also known as a temporary visitor visa, before entering Japan. This requirement applies to all Vietnamese passport holders, regardless of the purpose of their tourism visit.

Essential documents and eligibility criteria

  • Valid passport with at least six months validity

  • Completed visa application form

  • Financial documentation proving sufficient funds

  • Detailed travel itinerary

Your Vietnamese passport must remain valid for at least six months beyond your planned arrival date in Japan. Additionally, ensure you have enough blank pages for visa stamps and entry/exit stamps.
