TOP > LIST of "Status of Residence" > "Temporary Visitor"
"Temporary Visitor" or "tanki-taizai" in Japanese is one of "Status of Residence" defined by Japanese immigration law.
A person on "Temporary Visitor" status can stay in Japan for sightseeing, recreation, sports, visiting relatives, inspection tours, participating in lectures or meetings, business contact or other similar activities.
Duration of this status is 15-day, 30-day, or 90-day to be determined by an immigration officer at the air/sea port.
Basically, a foreign national must apply for a valid visa before he/she enter to Japan, but Japan has mutual visa exemption agreements with many countries and regions. If your passport is issued by the country or region in the list, you are exempt from obtaining a Visiting visa.
The list may change. Please confirm the latest information on the public web site of MOFA.
