Japan has introduced electronic visas (eVisas) for Indian travelers, simplifying the visa application process by eliminating the need for a physical sticker on the passport.

 

To obtain an eVisa, applicants must go through specific centers operated by VFS Global. This eVisa caters to tourists looking to explore Japan for a duration of up to 90 days and is available to both Indian nationals and residents.

 

Here's the application process:
