Visa & Entry

German passport holders can enter Japan visa-free for stays up to 90 days. No advance registration or eTA is required. Your passport must be valid for the duration of your stay. At immigration you will receive a "temporary visitor" status stamped in your passport.

Japan requires all incoming travelers to complete the Visit Japan Web form at vjw.digital.go.jp before arrival. Register your passport, flight details, and customs declaration online. You get a QR code to scan at immigration and customs. Fill it out a few days before your flight.

The 90-day visa-free stay cannot be extended for tourism. If you need more time, you must leave and re-enter, though immigration may question repeated short visits. For work or study, apply for the appropriate visa at the Japanese embassy in Berlin before departure.
