Documents Required for the Japan tourist visa

When applying for a Japan visa at atlys, the following documents are typically required:

Original Passport (all current and old passports): You must provide your current valid passport. Additionally, if you have any old passports, even if they are expired, it's important to include them as well. This is because your travel history might be relevant to your visa application. The authorities want to see where you've travelled before, which can impact their decision.

Selfie: you'll need to provide a recent selfie as part of your application. This helps the authorities to verify your identity and ensure that the photo matches your appearance in the passport and other documents.

Accommodation Address: You should provide the address of the place where you'll be staying in Japan. This could be a hotel, a friend's place, or any other type of accommodation. It's important to be accurate with this information as it's part of your travel plan that you're sharing with the authorities.

Flight Tickets / Details: You need to provide information about your flight to and from Japan. This includes details such as flight numbers, dates of travel, and airline information. If you have already booked your flight, you can share the actual tickets. If you haven't booked yet, you can provide the planned details. This shows the authorities that you have a clear travel plan in place.

Required Only for Chennai Jurisdiction: Pay slip for last 3 months in case of salaried or company registration/GSTN certificate as Proof of self-employment in case of self-employed. Then a copy of the last three months' bank statement. Chennai Jurisdiction requires Financial documents irrespective of travel history.
