Heads up — Japan Visa Checklists Vary by Jurisdiction
Japan splits visa decisions across the Embassy of Japan, New Delhi + four consulates (Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Bengaluru). Each has slightly different document checklists, photo specs, and processing times. The requirements on this page match the New Delhi jurisdiction.
Embassy of Japan, New Delhi jurisdiction covers
Multiple 6 is a premium multi-entry visa for Indian cultural/intellectual figures — artists, specialists in humanities, scientists, lawyers, CPAs, medical doctors, amateur sports players with accomplishments, professors, research institution directors, Diet members, government officials. Long validity (1-10 years) with stays up to 90 days per visit. First visit must be for business; subsequent visits can be tourist/family.
What it costs
Paid directly to Japan / VFS — these are not our service fee, and we never mark them up.
Figures per VFS Global, last verified 20 Apr 2026. Fees change without notice — the official page is final.
Visa Fee is refunded ONLY if the visa is NOT approved by the Embassy. There is a VFS Service Charge of ₹800 (inclusive of all taxes) per application — this applies even if the visa fee itself is exempted. Courier return service charge (optional): ₹550 per application (₹2,650 for Bhutan office). All charges are paid in cash/card only in INR at New Delhi VFS. For Gurugram, Chandigarh, and Lucknow Drop-Off offices: separate Demand Drafts in favour of 'VFS Global Services Pvt. Ltd.' — one per applicant for visa fee, service charge, and courier charge.
Flights · Hotels · Insurance · Itinerary
Japan requires a day-by-day schedule on its own official form — the most structured itinerary requirement anywhere.
3 of 4 are compulsory for Japan
Where people slip: A reservation whose dates drift by even one day from the schedule form. The two are read side by side.
Book for ₹708 (+₹472 per family member)Where people slip: Leaving a night blank because of an overnight train. Write the train in — a blank line is what gets the file returned.
Confirmed hotel booking, ₹590 per hotel: message us firstWhere people slip: Assuming a short trip is low risk. Ambulance and hospital costs in Japan are among the world's highest.
Where people slip: Treating it as a formality. It is the document the officer reads most closely, and inconsistencies are the usual reason for a return.
The letter your itinerary attaches toWe can arrange the flight reservation, the hotel and the itinerary for your Japan file — each sold separately.
We are a B2B travel agency as well as a visa consultancy, working with partners including Riya Travel — so the flight reservation and the confirmed hotel booking both come from us, and you deal with one team. Every booking is a real one under your own name. We do not sell travel insurance: buy the policy directly from an insurer.
None of them is part of our visa fee: each is bought on its own, at the price below, with or without our visa service.
Flight reservation ₹708 (+₹472 per extra family member) · Confirmed hotel booking ₹590 per hotel · Travel itinerary ₹1,499. GST included.
Delivery. Usually within 30 minutes during office hours, Mon–Sat 10:00–18:00 IST. Confirmed hotel bookings are not bought online: message us first on WhatsApp or email info@sureshotvisa.com with the city, dates and travellers.

Your fee, in one glance
Government, VFS, insurance, ticket and hotel costs are separate and charged at cost. Read what each item means, in full.
Before you file
Filed on a guessed checklist, the government fee is gone on a refusal and the refusal follows every future application. Filed after a consultant at our licensed firm has read the papers against each other, the file answers the officer's questions before they are asked. Same Japan rules, different outcome. How we do that is written once, in full, on the method page rather than repeated here.
