- Holders of a Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Passport (SAR) or a British Overseas National Passport (BNO) passport with Hong Kong residency are visa-free for 90 days for short-term visits to Japan (sightseeing, visiting relatives, visiting friends or short-term business).
- Holders of Taiwanese passports (containing their personal identification number) are also visa-free for short-term visits to Japan ( for purposes such as sightseeing, health care, sports, visiting relatives and friends, tours, attending workshops or parties, business contacts, etc., which can be completed during a short stay ) . With a tourist visa, they can stay for 90 days.
- Mainland China is not a visa-free region for Japan. Holders of mainland Chinese passports usually need to apply for a visa in advance for short-term visits to Japan.
- Japan offers "single-entry tourist visas" and "multiple-entry tourist visas" to citizens of mainland China. The single-entry tourist visa is the most common and allows a stay of 15 or 30 days.
- Upon entry into Japan, you must possess a valid passport and visa and undergo immigration inspection at the port of entry. The purpose of entry must be consistent with your visa type (for example, a tourist visa does not permit you to engage in work activities).
- Upon arrival, you will need to fill out an arrival card (arrival declaration form) and a customs declaration form, and may also need to submit biometric information (such as fingerprints and facial photographs).
- Passports valid for more than 6 months
- Hong Kong citizens can hold a Hong Kong Special Administrative Region passport (SAR) or a British National (Overseas) passport (BNO) that grants them the right of abode in Hong Kong.
- Citizens of mainland China need to apply for a visa in advance, while citizens of Hong Kong and Taiwan can stay for up to 90 days without a visa.
- We recommend using Visit Japan Web to submit entry and customs-related documents.
When entering Japan, you must declare any cash, traveler's checks, or other valuables exceeding 1 million yen (approximately HK$55,000) to customs. Failure to declare will result in confiscation of the entire amount, fines, and even criminal charges, with serious consequences.
When leaving Hong Kong, anyone carrying cash, traveler's checks, or other valuables exceeding HK$120,000 must declare them to customs. Failure to declare carries a maximum penalty of HK$500,000 and imprisonment for up to two years, but first-time offenders may be released on bail by paying HK$2,000.
Japan's Immigration Services Agency and the Ministry of Finance's Customs Service officially announced that starting in April 2025 , the new "Joint Kiosk" will be fully implemented at the three major international airports in Tokyo— Haneda Airport, Narita Airport, and Kansai International Airport in Osaka.
With this new system, travelers can complete all the registration procedures on Visit Japan Web (VJW) before arriving in Japan, and then use a QR code to complete "immigration inspection + customs declaration" in one go after disembarking, greatly improving the overall speed of entry.
- Before departure: Complete the Visit Japan Web (VJW) registration.
- Scan the VJW QR code, passport, and fingerprints at the self-service immigration kiosks, then take a photo and complete customs declaration.
- Upon arrival in Japan: Use the joint kiosks for self-service immigration clearance and proceed through the dedicated priority lane.
- Collect your luggage
- Use the dedicated lane to leave; or depart through the electronic declaration gate, slowing down to allow the system to scan your face. Once the scan is complete, you can leave the customs area.
