Japan Visa from Nepal: A Complete Guide for Nepali Travelers

Cherry blossoms, Mount Fuji and Tokyo’s busy streets are all waiting for you. But getting a Japan visa from Nepal needs careful paperwork. Nepali passport holders must apply before travel, and there is no visa on arrival. This guide covers the documents for three visa types: tourist, visit relatives, and dependent. Processing takes about 7 working days.

Do Nepali Citizens Need a Visa for Japan?

Yes. Nepal is not on Japan’s visa-free list. Applications from Nepal go through the Japan Visa Application Centre run by VFS Global in Kathmandu. Skyluxe Holidays helps you prepare a complete file so your application is correct the first time.
