Japan visa for Chinese citizens

🇨🇳 Chinese passport → 🇯🇵 Japan: yes — an e-visa, applied for online before travel.

How it works

Apply online before you travel: passport scan, photo, fee. Approval typically takes a few days — apply at least a week ahead, print or save the approval, and carry it.

Heads-up: Japan commonly asks for proof of onward travel (airline check-in; immigration occasionally).
