Why is the consular fee zero?

Japan has waived visa fees for Indian nationals in recent years. You pay only our filing fee and the courier charge.

How long is my passport held?

Usually 8–12 working days. Do not book non-refundable travel elsewhere in that window.

About this visa

Japan charges a modest consular fee but expects a complete, precisely formatted file including a day-by-day itinerary. Your original passport is submitted and returned by courier.

Common reasons visa applications get rejected

General guidance — exact rules vary by destination and consulate. Check the document checklist above for what specifically applies to your Japan application.

Passport validity too short

Most destinations require several months of validity remaining beyond your travel dates.

Prior immigration issues

An earlier overstay, deportation, or entry ban with this country can lead to automatic refusal.

Incomplete or mismatched documents

Names, dates and photos that do not match across documents are a common, avoidable cause of delay.

Multiple duplicate applications

Applying through more than one agent or portal for the same trip can flag your file for review.

Why file this online with us

What the online process actually saves you.

No visits, no queues

Everything from document upload to payment happens from your phone. Nothing about this process requires you to visit an office.

A person checks it first

Every page is checked against Japan's current requirements before anything is filed, so an easily-fixed mistake does not turn into a refusal.

You can see where it stands

Track every stage of the file yourself — no need to call and ask what is happening.

Checklist

Documents you will need

▢Passport — first and last page — Colour scan, all four corners visible
▢Passport photograph — Recent, white background
▢Bank statement — last 6 months — Signed and stamped by the bank
▢Income tax return
▢Employment or leave letter
▢Confirmed return ticket
▢Hotel booking or host details

Phone photos are fine as long as all four corners are visible and the text is readable. We tell you within a working day if anything needs reshooting.

Eligibility

Who can apply

Indian citizens holding a passport valid at least six months beyond the date of entry, with at least two blank pages, confirmed onward travel and funds that credibly cover the trip.

Declare any previous refusal for this country. An undeclared refusal that surfaces later is a far bigger problem than a declared one.
