Japan eVisa for UAE Residents: Requirements & Online Application Process
Japan has a special talent for mixing opposites: quiet shrines tucked behind neon streets, centuries-old tea houses a few stops from robot cafés. If you’re in the UAE and Japan is calling, the eVisa makes the admin side feel less like a maze and more like a tidy checklist. Below is a clear, friendly guide that keeps things simple, professional, and—most importantly—useful.

Rules hinge on passport nationality, not your UAE residence alone.
Emirati citizens can usually visit visa-free for up to 30 days.
Most expatriate residents in the UAE will need a visa, and many are now eligible for Japan’s online eVisa.
A 60-second eligibility check before you book anything non-refundable is a sanity saver.
