Japan's short-stay visa covers tourism, visiting friends or relatives, and short business trips. You'll typically provide an itinerary, proof of funds and, for some categories, a guarantor. Japan does not currently offer visa-free entry to Vanuatu nationals.
If Japan is a frequent destination for you, factor the visa step into your planning — though for most clients the value of a Vanuatu passport lies in its speed, cost and the visa-free Asian hubs it does cover.
Japanese short-stay visa applications are generally lodged through the embassy or an accredited travel agency, with a typical processing time of about a week. Prepare a day-by-day itinerary, proof of funds and confirmed accommodation. Japan is strict on documentation completeness, so submit a tidy, consistent application to avoid delays.
