Visa Services: The citizens of USA and some other countries, which have a Reciprocal Visa Exemption Arrangement with Japan, (some of these countries are Britain, France, Germany, Canada, Singapore, etc.) do not require a visa to stay in Japan for 90 days or less for non-employment purposes like attending meetings or conferences, sightseeing, etc. For this, the entrants have to present their passport and a confirmed return ticket to the immigration officer on their arrival in Japan. The nationals of other countries have to procure a visa before being allowed entry into Japan. The type of visa they must obtain depends on the purpose of their visit to Japan. However, all visitors who enter Japan for employment purposes, including US nationals, must obtain a visa before being allowed to enter Japan.
