A single entry visa is valid for 3 months after issuance and usually allows you to stay in the country for up to 15 days. It is not possible to extend its validity. Double entry visa is valid for 6 months from the date of issue. A multiple-entry visa is usually good for a period of 1 to 5 years, depending on the nationality of the visitor, the purpose of the visit and their passport type. A multiple-entry visa allows you to visit Japan multiple times within a period of 1 to 5 years from the date of issue, but each stay cannot exceed a period of 15 or 30 days.

There are only a handful of countries around the world that require eVisa before setting foot in Japan. They don’t have a visa, and since Iran is not one of them, their citizens, along with most nationals of other countries, must go through the process of getting their eVisa. Currently, due to the Corona situation, it is not possible to apply for a tourist visa in any way, either online or in person.

Main factors for Japan visa rejection
Getting a visa can be very nerve wracking as you may be approved or rejected in the process. Unlike Schengen or Korean visas, the Japanese embassy does not provide a specific reason for rejecting your visa. This is one of their countermeasures to prevent future applications from being misused. But the most common reasons are as follows:

1. Visa issuance criteria: According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a visa can be issued when the applicant meets the following conditions:

A valid passport and the right to re-enter your country of citizenship or residence;
providing valid, complete and satisfactory documents;
The applicant is not subject to Article 5, Paragraph 1 of the Immigration Control Law;
2. Incomplete documents: All documents must be complete and in A4 size paper. Keep them neat and clean. The Japanese are very organized. If you do not follow their instructions, there is a possibility that you will not get a visa.

3. Inconsistency in the program: If you state in your application form that your intended stay is only one week, but your daily schedule includes 15 days of travel, you may be rejected. Double-check your documents and make sure they match. Another example is if your accommodation is in Tokyo as requested, but your itinerary and port of entry are all in the Kansai region (Osaka-Kyoto-Nara). Immigration officers know their area, so this may raise their suspicions and reject you.

4. Abnormal bank balance: How much bank balance is required in Japan? There is no specific answer to this question. Now, if you have enough money, there may be anomalies in your bank balance that can cause your Japan visa to be rejected.

5. Type of visa application: If you are there for a business meeting and have been invited by a Japanese company, do not apply for a tourist visa but apply for a short-term business visa. This is one of the reasons why your Japanese tourist visa may be rejected.

6. Incorrect forms: The forms you need to fill out for your application are available on the embassy’s website. Some of them are in Word format, so it’s easy to edit. If you do not follow the instructions, your visa may be refused.

7. Forgery of documents: Valid documents are the criteria for obtaining a Japanese visa. If you have issued a birth certificate, not from PSA, but from Recto, and they check it, you may not only be rejected, but banned. Also, if you’re going to get a certificate of employment, make sure it’s verifiable so they can contact your company. Also note that if the authorities find out about your fake documents, you may be jailed or fined.

8. Poor relations with the inviter or sponsor: If you’ve been invited by a friend in Japan, met online but never met in person, the embassy may think you’ve been smuggled and there’s a good chance you’ll be rejected. It is recommended that your sponsor or inviter be someone who has known you for three years or more. You may want to send each other pictures or chat to prove your relationship.

9. Intention to work with a tourist visa: If the embassy thinks you have no reason to return, you will likely be denied a Japan visa. People who are unemployed and do not have strong relationships may be subject to speculation. This is because the embassy may think that you are also visiting Japan for business purposes. If you want to prove that you are not working and returning to your country, you can attach your plane ticket reservation, hotel reservation, tourist ticket, assets or birth certificate of your children.

10. Violation of previous visas: If you have already been granted a Japan visa but have not complied with the rules such as overstaying or working under your tourist visa, you may be rejected on your next application. Relevant questions will be asked in the application form and you must answer them honestly. Otherwise, if they find out that you actually broke the rules but didn’t mention it in your application, you might get rejected.

The listed items are the common reasons for Japan visa rejection. It is better to double-check all the documents you have sent and take a photo of them to check if they are approved or rejected.
