Tips

  • 1

    Visa conditions for Tokyo are set by nationality: this dataset lists stay durations from 30 to 90 days across passport categories, so confirm your passport's current status with the official source before booking anything non-refundable.

  • 2

    Work in the local currency of Tokyo and keep card fees as a separate line; converting every visa price to your home currency with a rough rate distorts the comparison between options and hides their real differences.

  • 3

    Prices behind this visa planner move with season and local events in Tokyo: re-run the calculation close to your booking date instead of trusting a figure saved weeks earlier, because seasonal swings can move totals by a third or more.

Common Mistakes

  • Booking Tokyo flights before the visa: the 30- to 90-day windows listed here change with little notice, and an approval that arrives late converts your fare into a loss. Secure the entry status first, then buy the transport.

  • Treating the Tokyo maximum as a target: stretching a 90-day stamp to its final hour risks fines and future refusals, and extensions are never automatic. Plan the itinerary inside the shorter 30-day bracket whenever your dates allow it.
