Japan, a country known for its stunning natural beauty, rich cultural heritage, and cutting-edge technology, has long been a dream destination for travelers worldwide. For Pakistani citizens planning to explore the Land of the Rising Sun, understanding the visa process is essential.
To visit Japan, Pakistani travelers need to apply for a tourist visa. The application process is managed through VFS Global or Gerry’s Visa, as the Embassy of Japan in Pakistan does not accept applications directly. Preparing the required documents accurately can ensure a smooth process.
Applicants must submit essential paperwork, including a valid passport, a filled visa application form with a passport-sized photo, and a travel itinerary covering planned visits and accommodations. Confirmed flight and hotel bookings, along with proof of employment or an official letter stating the purpose of the visit, are also mandatory. Students need to provide a copy of their student ID, while all applicants must submit a Family Registration Certificate (FRC) and a copy of their CNIC.
A key requirement is a recent bank statement. For a single-entry visa, applicants need a minimum balance of Rs 1 million, while a multiple-entry visa requires Rs 2.5 million. The statement should cover the last three months. If another person is funding the trip, proof of the relationship is needed.
By ensuring all documents are complete and accurate, Pakistani citizens can look forward to exploring Japan’s iconic landmarks, from Kyoto’s serene temples to Mount Fuji’s majestic views. Following these steps, applicants can soon immerse themselves in Japan’s unique blend of ancient traditions and modern marvels.
