Most American can go to any countries in the world without visa (meaning: they will give you a free visa on arrival). Japan is one of them. If you are American, you don't need a visa. When you arrive at the airport in Japan, they will give you 90 days landing permission/temporary stay stamped in your passport. If you are going to stay in Japan less than one month, you don't need vaccinations, but if you are going to stay longer, I recommend you to check with health dept in your area. They'll be able to help you. You need to check with Japan embassy regarding things you can or can't bring into country. That way you have a piece of mind.

I am going to Japan for 1 week in March. My passport expires in July. Will this be a problem and should I get my passport renewed before I go?

Hi pinay07,

I am Eros, also from the Philippines but living here in downtown Tokyo.

You must obtain first a valid visa.

Visa Category is depends on your purpose and also the requirements.
The organization who conducting the program should know the processes to permits their volunteer to enter the country.

Generally you should have the following documents issued within 6 months before the intended date of visa application:

From invitee person:
1) Visa Application Form (you may get the form in the Japanese Embassy accredited agency only)
2) Passport
3) Pictures
4) Certificate of Birth NSO SECPA
5) Certificate of Eligibility (COE) (If you intends to stay longer (more than 1 year) and you don’t need the below documents but the inviting organization must apply the COE for you in Japan Immigration office near by the intended place to stay before hand. It takes 1 month or more (usually less 2 months). )

From inviting organization:
1) Organization’s overview
2) Financial statements
3) Invitation letter
4) Reasons / Purposes
5) Guarantor
6) Itinerary (it must be detailed)

You may see our Online Filipino Community In Japan website (www.sukiforum.com).

Hi! I heard that the best time to go to Japan specifically Tokyo is between April to May? But could you guys give me the exact dates so I can properly plan our trip? Somebody told me that there is also an important holiday during this period. And also, could you give suggestions on which area is the best to stay in so I can easily access all the attraction? Thanks!
