Residents of these countries can now apply for this single-entry tourist visa online, which will provide them with up to a 90-day long stay in Japan. It is pertinent to mention here that the applicant must not have any criminal record, violation, and deportation.
People having dual nationalities with Japanese one cannot apply for the eVisa. Residents must file their applications no fewer than seven days before traveling to the country. Residents of the following countries can apply for a Japanese e-visa:
The necessary paperwork depends on the country. For specific details, you can visit the above-mentioned website. Also, note here that only UK and Singapore residents can pay their fee online, whereas those from other countries must visit Japan’s consulate or embassy for this purpose.

The eVisa is a digital travel authorization that was introduced in June 2019 by Japan. When arriving there, visitors must present their approved tourist eVisa to border officials in order to enter the nation.
