What you can settle without going

  • 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.
  • You can apply for the eVISA online if your nationality is not visa-exempt.

    • Other places in the same district

  • Bowling Green, 66 miles from its consulate

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