If you plan to stay for up to 90 days, you may enter the country with a "short-term stay" with a status of residence called a "tourist visa". When applying for this status of residence, it is divided into "visiting relatives" and "commercial" depending on the purpose of entry, so if it is for business purposes, you will apply for "commercial".

  Short-term visas, sometimes called "tourist visas", are for those who wish to enter the country for short-term purposes such as for sightseeing purposes, visiting relatives, sports, and business meetings. Please note that if you come to Japan with this short-term visa, you will not be able to carry out activities to earn income in Japan. In principle, extension of visa for short-term stay is not permitted. (However, if there are special circumstances such as marriage procedures in Japan, long-term care after childbirth, or humanitarian problems, extension may be permitted.)

People from Russia, China, the Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand, India, Indonesia, Ukraine, Peru, etc. who have not signed a visa exemption agreement with Japan must obtain a short-term visa before entering Japan, even for sightseeing purposes. Will get to.

Short-term visas are generally easily issued if you have the necessary expenses for travel and a round-trip ticket, but for some countries such as China, the Philippines, and Russia, various documents such as an identity guarantee are available. There are cases where it is necessary. This is because if you easily allow foreigners to enter the country with a short-term visa, there is a high possibility that it will lead to overstay and illegal employment problems. Therefore, the examination of short-term visa issuance is very strict for some countries.
