FAQ

Don’t book a flight before getting the visa

Before applying for a Japanese visa, many people will have a question: Do they need to book it first? Do I need an air ticket to apply for a Japanese visa? After all, when applying for a Japanese visa, you need a reservation for an air ticket.

However, it is recommended not to book air tickets first. For safety reasons, it is best to wait until the Japanese visa is issued before booking air tickets. If the visa is refused, the air tickets booked in advance will be invalid. If you request a refund for an order that has already been issued, corresponding refund fees will be charged. To apply for a Japanese visa, you need to provide air tickets and hotel reservations to the embassy. However, entrusting a travel agency to apply for a Japanese visa can directly help you make air ticket and hotel reservations. After the visa is issued, you can book air tickets and hotels by yourself according to the travel time. In addition, the Japanese Embassy does not accept individual visa applications. Visas can only be processed by agencies (travel agencies, etc.), so if you want to apply for a Japanese visa, you still have to spend money.

Ask clearly about the large guarantee deposit. Payment

For their own safety, many travel agencies are unwilling to provide guarantees and will ask the person handling the application to pay a large deposit. The deposit is collected by the travel agency or the corresponding agency, but the money is not given. If you apply for this deposit at a bank, the bank will freeze it.

The specific amount of the deposit is determined by the travel agency based on the actual situation. Even if you pay the deposit, if you return to the country on time. After canceling the visa, the travel agency will refund the deposit. Remember to cancel the visa. Failure to do so will affect your next trip.

Be sure to cancel the visa when you return from Japan.

< p>Many people are confused about what information is required for visa cancellation. However, considerate travel agencies will provide relevant information for visa cancellation after the visa is issued: round-trip boarding pass; Passport endorsement page + passport’s four Japan entry and exit stamps; passport home page; visa deposit receipt. If the round-trip boarding pass is missing, there are mainly four Japan entry and exit stamps.

Pay attention to the bank required for visa application. Liushui

If you ask me, what is Japan’s visa rejection rate? I can only tell you that one of the major factors in Japan’s visa rejection is the issue of asset certification for Japanese visas. Financial security is the core when applying for a Japanese visa. Under normal circumstances, bank transactions and security deposits are more difficult to obtain for Japanese visas. However, the Guangzhou consular district also has simplified transaction requirements. In addition, each consular district also has different requirements for asset issues, and each travel agency has different requirements. It depends on the strength of the travel agency.

If you are eligible for water transfer exemption in the Guangzhou consular district, there are strict conditions for water transfer exemption in Guangzhou: the required household registration or permanent residence must be in. Guangdong, Guangxi, and Hainan (household registration or permanent residence in Fujian are not exempt for the time being; they also need to meet one of the following six items, which greatly reduces the application requirements.

Japan. The period of stay and validity of a visa are not the same thing

For those who are applying for a visa for the first time, many people have questions about the validity period and period of stay of a Japanese visa. In fact, after understanding it, it is not difficult to understand the visa at all. The validity period and the period of stay are two different concepts. The validity period of the visa refers to the time period within which you can enter the country with the visa; the period of stay refers to the time you can stay in the country after entering the country. As long as the visa is valid and valid, you can travel with confidence.

If the application is for a family, the household registration is not in the unified household register, and the entire household register must be provided separately. This photocopy has slightly different requirements for each consular district. Just prepare according to the requirements of the consular district.

Whether the Japanese visa will be inexplicably adjusted

There may be many people. When applying for a visa, I always consult my relatives and friends, and they usually ask whether the Japanese visa application will be subject to electronic adjustment. After all, they have learned that visas for many American and European countries may be subject to electronic adjustment, which inevitably makes them anxious. < /p>

In fact, the chance of being investigated by phone when applying for a Japanese visa is very low, but it is recommended to keep the phone number on the form, including the mobile phone number of the employer and the applicant, generally to verify the applicant's employment status and inquire about the itinerary. If you are asked who booked the hotel and air tickets, you should answer that it was arranged by a travel agency. Even if you are called, don't be nervous and answer based on the facts.

Is it feasible to temporarily modify the itinerary?

For example, I wanted to modify my Japan single-entry visa. It is possible to modify the itinerary.
