Visa types

  • No visa is required for short-term stays (up to 90 days) for tourism or business.

How to apply

  • For short-term stays (up to 90 days), no application is necessary prior to arrival. Entry is granted upon meeting the conditions at the port of entry.
  • For stays requiring a visa (longer than 90 days, work, study, etc.):
  • Consult the nearest Japanese Embassy or Consulate for the specific application process. The official MOFA website provides embassy contact information: https://www.mofa.go.jp/ca/fna/page4e_001053.html
  • General Application Steps (for visa required situations):
  • Obtain the correct visa application form from the embassy website or in person.
  • Gather required supporting documents (passport, photos, itinerary, proof of financial means, invitation letters if applicable, etc.). Specific document requirements will be provided by the embassy.
  • Submit the completed application form and all supporting documents to the Japanese Embassy or Consulate. In some regions, applications may be handled through authorized visa application centers (e.g., VFS Global, BLS International).
  • Attend an interview if required.
  • Pay the visa fee upon submission or as instructed.
  • Wait for the application to be processed. You will be notified when a decision is made and when to collect your passport.

Fees & processing time

  • For visa-free entry (up to 90 days), there are no visa fees.
  • For visa applications (for stays longer than 90 days or other purposes), fees are subject to change and depend on the visa type and nationality. As an estimate, a single-entry visa often costs around JPY 3,000 - JPY 4,000 (approximately USD 20 - USD 27).
  • Standard visa processing times vary but can typically range from 5 to 10 working days. However, this can be longer during peak seasons or for complex applications. It is advisable to apply well in advance.
  • Express or priority processing is generally not available for standard visa applications, but it is best to confirm with the specific embassy or consulate.

Tips for Andorra travelers

  • Plan your trip well in advance, especially if you require a visa for stays beyond 90 days or for specific purposes. Even for visa-free travel, understanding entry requirements is crucial.
  • Ensure your passport has at least six months of validity remaining from your date of entry into Japan, and at least one blank page for stamps. While Japan's visa-free agreement for Andorrans doesn't explicitly state the six-month validity, it's a standard international travel practice and highly recommended.
  • Be prepared to show proof of onward or return travel and sufficient funds to cover your stay. Airlines and immigration officials may request this.
  • Familiarize yourself with Japanese customs and etiquette before your trip.
  • For visa-required applications, check the official website of the Japanese Embassy or Consulate responsible for Andorra (likely in a neighboring European country) for the most up-to-date information on required documents, fees, and application procedures. The official portal for e-visas (if applicable to specific visa types, though generally not for short-term stays for Andorrans) is https://www.evisa.mofa.go.jp/, but for Andorra, direct embassy application is the norm for non-visa-free entries.
  • Extensions of stay for visa-free visitors are generally not granted unless under exceptional humanitarian circumstances. You are expected to leave Japan before your authorized 90-day period expires.
