What is the Japan Arrival Card?

The Japan Arrival Card is an electronic system designed to facilitate entry for travelers arriving in Japan. It combines the convenience of an online arrival card application process with the ease of digital verification at arrival points. Travelers apply online for a arrival card before their trip, and once approved, they present the arrival card at immigration upon entry to Japan.

All guests travelling to Japan must complete a mandatory online e-immigration application within 7 days prior to their arrival.

Who Needs the Japan Arrival Card?

The Japan Arrival Card is required for travelers who need a arrival card to enter Japan for short-term stays, primarily for tourism or business purposes. The arrival card is designed for those who want a quick and convenient way to secure their entry permit without visiting an embassy or consulate.

Tourists: Visitors planning short-term stays for sightseeing, cultural experiences, or leisure.

Business Travelers: Those attending meetings, conferences, or other business-related activities.

Eligible Passport Holders: Of countries that require a arrival card to enter Japan. Most nationalities can apply for the arrival card, except for a few restricted countries.

The system is separated into a Foreign Visitor and Japan Citizen category, and for the former, there are options for completing individual and group submissions.

These are the steps to know:

  1. Registration requires uploading a photo and passport information.*
  2. Take a screenshot or download your QR code before closing or exiting the Card website. If you use the mobile application, the QR Code will be available after successful submission even without an internet connection.
  3. Present your QR code at immigration.
  4. The registration is free, so no fees for the e-immigration are required (this is separate from the arrival card).

*You may still edit your information and resubmit your arrival Card, as long as you have not been processed by Immigration Officers.
