Short-Term Stay Visa in Japan: Document Preparation Support
Are you planning to invite a family member, friend, or business partner to Japan for a short period?
Applications for a Short-Term Stay Visa must be submitted directly by the applicant at the Japanese Embassy or Consulate in their home country. While we cannot submit the application on your behalf, we provide expert support by preparing the complex, highly scrutinized documents required from the Japanese sponsor's side.
Key Aspects of Short-Term Stay Visas
Inviting someone to Japan involves strict documentation. Here is what you need to know before starting the process:
Strict Purpose Limits
This visa is strictly for tourism, visiting relatives/friends, or short-term business (e.g., meetings). Engaging in any paid work is absolutely prohibited.
Sponsor Documents
The inviter in Japan must prepare crucial documents, including a Letter of Guarantee, a Reason for Invitation, and a detailed Schedule of Stay.
Varying Local Rules
Required documents can vary slightly depending on the specific Japanese Embassy or Consulate handling the application, even within the same country.
Important Notice: Procedure and Limitations
Please be aware that we cannot submit the application for you in Japan. The applicant must physically submit the documents to the Japanese diplomatic mission in their jurisdiction.
Additionally, using a Short-Term Stay visa to engage in paid work or as a substitute for a proper work visa is illegal and will result in denied entry and future bans. Furthermore, employers who hire individuals on a Short-Term Stay visa will also face severe penalties under the Immigration Control Act.
