History Japan had a special visa policy for nationals of countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States who could not provide their financial guarantees and get a visa on their own but instead they had to apply through an approved travel agency or be invited by a resident or a citizen of Japan. [86] These requirements were lifted for citizens of Russia on 1 January 2017, [87] Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan on 5 June 2017, [88] [89] Armenia on 1 September 2017, [90] Azerbaijan on 1 December 2017 [91] and Belarus, Moldova and Ukraine on 1 January 2018. [92] [93] In addition, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan has special visa policies for nationals of China and the Philippines. Nationals of these countries also must apply through an accredited travel agent or be invited by a Japanese citizen or a resident of Japan. [94] [95] As of 2014, nationals of the Philippines and Vietnam travelling in a group through a registered travel agency may obtain entry visas for tourist visits up to 15 days in a simplified process that requires fewer documents than before. [96] Moreover, nationals of India, the Philippines and Vietnam can obtain multiple-entry visas providing that they have visited Japan and other G7 countries or they have "sufficient financial capability". [97] [98] As of 2015, Chinese tourists travelling on approved cruise ships do not need a visa. They must embark and disembark the same specified ships. [99] Japan was reportedly set to ease visa requirements for visitors from key markets, such as India, China and Vietnam, starting in the summer of 2016. [100] A new wave of visa liberalization policies started on 17 October 2016 for Chinese nationals [101] and on 1 January 2018 for Indian nationals. [102] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Japan suspended the visa exemptions for most countries from March 2020, and later for all countries, and restored them on 11 October 2022. [103] According to this source (https://www.in.emb-japan.go.jp/itpr_ja/11_000001_01148.html?s=08), Japan has now allowed Indian nationals and those residing in India to be eligible for e-Visa. Statistics In 2015 4,768,286 Japanese visas were issued. [104] It is an increase of 66% from 2014 when 2,871,639 visas were issued and the highest number ever recorded.
