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.

Why files get refused
Most Japan visit visa refusals come down to a few fixable things
Refusals are common now, and the government fee is non-refundable. The good news: almost every reason below is something we can strengthen before you submit.
Principal's visa isn't Employment category
Gensenchoshuhyo submitted (not accepted — wrong document)
Kinship documents missing or unapostilled
Residence card copy unclear
What we actually do
We build a stronger file — you don't guess
Check your profile before filing
We tell you honestly if the case is ready — before you spend the government fee.
Review funds & ITR alignment
Bank statement, income and tax records presented the way officers expect.
Structure purpose & cover letter
A clear travel story that answers the officer's real questions.
Show strong ties to India
Job, business, property and family framed as genuine reasons to return.
Sponsor & invitation papers
If family is inviting you, we line their documents up with your profile — a common silent refusal trigger.
Guide the full submission
Online portal or VFS appointment, biometrics and passport steps — supported until the decision.
Refused before?
We rebuild refused Japan cases the right way.
Reapplying with the same file usually earns the same answer. We find the real reason first, then rebuild — no guarantees, just a properly prepared reapplication.
Before you reapply, we check:
- What your refusal letter actually says — and what it doesn't.
- Whether the officer's GCMS notes are worth pulling for the real reason.
- Which documents were weak: funds, employment, purpose, or ties.
- Whether reapplying now — or strengthening first — is the smarter move.
Same flat fee whether it's your first application or a reapplication.

What works
8 levers that flip a borderline case.
- Apply 2–3 weeks before travel — 5 working days is the minimum, but Embassy can extend.
- Japan has rolled out Multiple-Entry visas for Indian travellers with Japan travel history (Multiple 1-7). If you've been to Japan twice in 3 years, the Multiple visa is much easier to get than a fresh tourist visa.
- Income Tax Returns (ITR) are always accepted; bank statements are the fallback. Submit both when applying for Multiple entry visas.
- For Student/Dependent applicants: always include parent/spouse's ITR + consent letter.
What kills cases
Top 3 refusal triggers we see.
- 1Principal's visa isn't Employment category
- 2Gensenchoshuhyo submitted (not accepted — wrong document)
- 3Kinship documents missing or unapostilled

We're actively building per-visa quizzes. For now, the best way to assess your eligibility for Japan Multiple Entry Visa (Multiple 7) — Spouse or Children of Employment Visa Holder is a free 1-on-1 consultation with our team.
Free · No obligation · Reply in minutesFrequently asked
Questions, answered straight
Yes — Long-Term work visa under Engineer / Specialist in Humanities / Skilled Labor / etc. categories all qualify as 'Employment Visa' for Multiple 7 purposes.
J-Find, Student, Dependent, etc. do NOT qualify as 'Employment Visa'. Apply for regular Visit visa instead.
Gensenchoshuhyo (源泉徴収票) is a monthly tax withholding statement — not sufficient. Embassy wants full Income/Taxation certificate OR counterfoil of final tax return (annual document).
Certificate of Residence — official Japanese document proving residence address in Japan. Your family member gets it from their municipal office. Exclude 'My Number' + Resident record code fields.
Each child files own application with own passport, photo, form. Minor children need parent signatures on form.
Typically 1-3 years. Matches principal's employment visa duration where possible.

Before you apply
Two ways to file your Japan visa.
One quietly burns your fee, your trip and your record. The other gets it right the first time.
Do it yourself
The risky route
- You guess which papers Japan actually wants — one missing or wrongly-framed document triggers a refusal.
- You copy a cover letter off YouTube or Google — often the exact template embassies already flag as weak.
- You apply during a known peak-rejection window without realising it.
- Embassy & VFS fees are non-refundable — refused means your money, flights and leave are gone.
- One refusal stamp follows you for life — every future visa, anywhere, must declare it.
The gamble
One mistake = fee, flights & record gone

Why DIY goes wrong
How a self-filed application turns into a refusal.
- 1
You feel ready
A few YouTube videos make the process look simple.
- 2
You file it yourself
You submit a sensitive Japan visa file on your own.
- 3
One detail misreads
A small framing slip looks like weak ties or unclear intent.
- 4
Refusal
Now every future visa, anywhere, must declare it.
Once you've been refused, you learn the hard way how much the small details mattered. We'd rather you never collect that first stamp.
