Nationals from countries that have
visa exemption arrangements with Japan can apply for landing permission
for a short term stay without obtaining a visa as long as they
hold valid ordinary passports. Their purposes of travel are restricted
to non-paid activities such as sightseeing, convalescence, visiting
relatives or friends, amateur participation in athletic meetings
or competitions, or business trips. |

Note: In the case of visa exemption arrangements of up to three
months or 90 days, foreigners are granted a temporary visitor status
upon landing for a period of 90 days (15 days for Brunei).
Nationals of countries that have concluded visa exemption arrangements
with Japan for stays of up to six months in principle are granted
permission to stay in Japan for 90 days at the time of landing.
Nationals of these countries who wish to stay in Japan for more
than 90 days must apply at the nearest immigration authority in
Japan for an extension of their period of stay.
*In the case of Australia, Japan adopts a unilateral measure, not
a bilateral visa exemption arrangement.
