Japan Visa Fees & Commission (April 2026)

Japan has standardized its fees for Indian nationals. The Embassy fee is remarkably low, but the value of your consultancy lies in perfect documentation to avoid the “No-Reason Rejection” policy.

Visa Category Entry Type Embassy Fee (INR) VFS Service Fee Service Charges  Total fee
Tourist / Business Single Entry ₹500 ₹800 ₹3,000 ₹4,300
Tourist / Business Multiple Entry ₹500 ₹800 ₹4,500 ₹5,800
Transit Visa Transit ₹50 ₹800 ₹1,500 ₹2,350

Note: For the Hyderabad jurisdiction (Chennai Consulate), appointments at VFS are now mandatory.

Mandatory Document Checklist (2026 Update)

Japan’s 2026 requirements emphasize precise accommodation proof for the entire stay.

  • Identity: Passport (6 months validity) + 2 recent photos (2×2 inches, white background, 70% face visibility).

  • Day-Wise Itinerary: This is the most critical document. It must list every activity, hotel name, and contact number for each day of the stay.

  • Financial Proof:

    • 6 months of bank statements (original, stamped, and signed).

    • Recommended balance: ₹1.5 Lakhs+ for a 10-day trip.

    • Last 3 years of ITR acknowledgments.

  • Employment: NOC/Leave Sanction letter from the employer. For your self-employed clients, provide Business Registration and 3 years of Company ITR.

  • Accomodation: Confirmed hotel vouchers covering every single night spent in Japan (New 2026 enforcement).

  • For Business: Original Invitation Letter and Letter of Guarantee from the Japanese company.

Processing Times & e-Visa

  • Standard Processing: 5 to 10 working days.

  • e-Visa (2026 Update): The e-Visa system is now fully operational for Indian tourists. While it costs the same, it replaces the physical sticker with a digital “Visa Issuance Notice.” However, your clients still need to submit their physical passports for verification at VFS Hyderabad.
