What you can settle without going

  • You can have the Certificate of Eligibility applied for in Japan by your sponsor.
  • 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.

    • If you only need a certificate or a registration, check whether it can travel by mail before you plan the drive.
