Visa & Entry

Finnish citizens enter Japan visa-free for up to 90 days for tourism and business. No advance application required. Your passport must be valid for the duration of your stay. At immigration, you will be fingerprinted and photographed. You receive a "temporary visitor" landing permission stamp.

You must complete a Visit Japan Web registration before arrival, including customs and immigration declaration forms. The QR code generated speeds up processing at the airport. Carry proof of a return or onward ticket and your hotel booking. A 90-day extension is possible at an immigration bureau in Japan, but approval is not guaranteed.
