Visa & Entry

British passport holders enter Japan visa-free for up to 90 days. No fee, no advance application. Passport must be valid for the duration of the stay. Since April 2024, Japan requires all visa-free visitors to complete Visit Japan Web (vjw.digital.go.jp) before arrival, covering immigration, customs, and a QR code that speeds up airport processing.

On arrival, you provide fingerprints and a photo at immigration. Bring proof of onward travel and accommodation for at least the first few nights. Extensions of up to 90 additional days are possible at a regional immigration office (4,000 JPY, about $27) but approval is not guaranteed. Working on a tourist entry is strictly prohibited.

Direct flights from London Heathrow to Tokyo Narita or Haneda run 11 hours 30 minutes to 12 hours eastbound, 12 to 13 hours westbound. British Airways, JAL, and ANA operate nonstops. The Japanese yen trades at roughly 150 JPY per $1. Japan is still heavily cash-based outside major cities; carry yen from ATMs at 7-Eleven or Japan Post. No vaccination requirements. A Suica or Pasmo IC card (2,000 JPY deposit) covers trains, buses, and convenience store purchases nationwide.

Verify entry requirements with official sources before travel.
