About the Japan Visa Document Checklist

A tick list of the documents the Embassy of Japan in the Philippines asks for in two common cases: tourism, and visiting relatives within the third degree. Each line says who prepares the document, and the example sheet shows the list ticked for a visit to a sister in Tokyo paid by the guarantor in Japan.

How to use the file

  1. Find your purpose in the first column (Tourism or Visiting relatives).
  2. Tick each line when you have the document in hand. Lines marked "if" only apply in that case.
  3. Check the date on each document. The embassy accepts documents issued within 3 months (birth and marriage certificates: 1 year).
  4. Before you submit, open the embassy page again: the lists are dated and can change.

Common mistakes

  • Mixing the two lists. Visiting relatives within the third degree has its own list; friends and distant relatives have another.
  • PSA certificates older than 1 year.
  • The guarantor's withholding slip instead of an income or tax certificate (not accepted, Important Note item 8).
  • A residence certificate (Jumin-hyo) that leaves out household members, or shows the Individual Number.
