NOTE Japan does not have a bilateral agreement with Australia, however, Australian-passport holders are allowed to participate in Japan’s visa-waiver program. The visa-waiver agreements between Japan and Bangladesh, Pakistan and Iran, have been temporarily suspended. Although the visa-waiver agreements between Japan and Malaysia, Peru and Colombia are still in effect, at this time it is recommended that passport holders from those countries obtain visas. If the country which issued your passport has a visa-waiver agreement which allows for a 3-month or 90-day stay, you will be granted temporary visitor status for a period of 90 days upon arrival (except for Brunei passport holders). If the country which issued your passport has a visa-waiver agreement which allows for a 6-month stay, you will be granted temporary visitor status for 90 days upon arrival. If you wish to stay longer than 90 days, you must apply for an extension at the nearest Japanese Immigration Service Office in Japan after arrival. Regarding China, visas are not required only for students of elementary, junior and senior high school in China for the purpose of school excursion staying in Japan less than 30 days. In case of Taiwan, visas are not required for Taiwan-passport holders with their own personal ID numbers stipulated in their respective passports.
