🇯🇵 Our Japan Visa Application Process

How to apply for your Japan visa with MUGC

THE MARK US GLOBAL ADVANTAGE

Our Streamlined Visa Consultancy Process

The Japan Temporary Visitor Visa allows Pakistani nationals to experience the unique culture and advanced landscapes of Japan for tourism, business, or visiting relatives. This visa generally permits a stay of up to 90 days, offering a bridge to explore the "Land of the Rising Sun."

Determine Your Visa Category

Identify if your visit is for tourism, business, or visiting friends/family. For tourism, you will primarily apply for a "Temporary Visitor Visa," which requires a detailed day-to-day travel itinerary.

Submit via Gerry’s Visa Center

Japan visa applications in Pakistan are processed through Gerry’s International (FedEx). Visit their designated drop-box offices in Karachi, Lahore, or Islamabad to submit your physical file and pay the service charges.

Prepare the Document Checklist

Gather your original passport, visa application form with a specific 2x2 inch white background photo, CNIC, and 6 months of bank statements. A "Schedule of Stay" (itinerary) is a mandatory requirement for Japan.

Visa Processing & Collection

The Embassy of Japan typically takes 7 to 10 working days for processing. Once a decision is made, you can collect your passport from the same Gerry’s center. Japan currently issues physical sticker visas for Pakistani passport holders.

Visa Requirements

Key Documentation for Seamless Visa Applications

For residents of Sindh and Balochistan, applications are submitted through VFS Global (Gerry’s) in Karachi. Generally, no prior appointment is required; you can visit during their designated submission hours (usually 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM) to submit your documents.

While there is no fixed official amount, it is highly recommended to show a 6-month bank statement with a closing balance of at least PKR 1,000,000 for solo travelers. For families, a balance of PKR 2,500,000 or more is advisable to cover all travel and accommodation costs.

Japan requires a mandatory, detailed day-to-day itinerary. This document must list your daily activities, the names and contact details of the hotels where you will stay, and your planned entry and exit dates. Vague descriptions like “Sightseeing” are often not accepted.

If you are traveling strictly for tourism and staying in hotels, an invitation letter is not required. However, if you are visiting friends or relatives, you must provide an Invitation Letter and a Letter of Guarantee from your host in Japan.

 

Standard processing at the Japanese Consulate in Karachi typically takes 6 to 10 working days once the application is received from the visa center. It is always best to apply at least 3 to 4 weeks before your intended travel date to account for any unexpected delays.
