About the Visa Application Form to Enter Japan
The Visa Application Form to Enter Japan is the two-page form every short-term visa applicant fills in and signs. This file lists every field in the order of the form, what to write, and a completed example for a tourist from the Philippines, so you can draft the answers and check them before writing on the form.
How to use the file
- Draft every answer in the last column of the "Fill in" sheet. Fields marked (Note) on the form are not mandatory.
- The Embassy of Japan in the Philippines asks you to fill in all items in English and to write "N/A" where an item does not apply.
- Copy the answers onto the form. Dates on this form are written Day / Month / Year.
- Glue a 4.5 x 3.5 cm photo taken within the last 6 months, with your name and date of birth written on the back (the same embassy's rules).
- Sign the form yourself. The "Date of application" is the day you submit it to the visa center or embassy.
Common mistakes
- Empty fields. Write "N/A" instead of leaving a field blank.
- Dates in the wrong order. The form uses Day / Month / Year, while the Letter of Guarantee uses Year / Month / Day.
- Hotel or host details that do not match the itinerary.
- Guarantor and inviter sections left empty when someone in Japan supports the visit. If they are the same person, the form says to write "same as above".
- A photo that is digitally edited or older than 6 months.
