Japanese consulates in Connecticut

Connecticut is cut in two by ZIP code, and the cut does not follow the county line. Three towns go to New York and the rest of the state to Boston.

Which Japanese consulate covers Connecticut?

Connecticut is split by ZIP code. The ranges 068 and 069 belong to New York; everything else belongs to Boston.

The line is not the county line: Bridgeport, at 066, is in Fairfield County and is served from Boston, 152 miles away, while Norwalk and Stamford next door are served from New York at around 40.

Honorary consuls in this state

An honorary consul is a local contact point, not a counter: the post issues no passports and no visas and cannot notarise a document. For that you still go to the consulate general.

    What you can settle without going

  • You can check the office hours: most consular counters close at midday.
  • You can check whether you need a visa at all, because most U.S. passport holders do not for stays under 90 days.
  • You can fill in Visit Japan Web before you fly, which covers immigration and customs.

    • A single visit can often cover several services, so ask what else you can bring while you are there.
