Visa Requirements for Japanese Business Travelers
Japanese passport holders can enter Vietnam without a visa for stays up to 45 days, regardless of whether the purpose is tourism or business. The previous rule requiring a “30-day gap between visits for visa-exempt re-entry” has been abolished, allowing unlimited visa-free re-entries.
However, obtaining an e-Visa is mandatory in the following cases:
- Stays exceeding 45 days
- Multiple entries/exits required (e.g., Vietnam → Thailand → Vietnam)
- Engaging in full-scale official business activities locally
Key Features of the e-Visa
Allows stays of up to 90 days, with choices between single-entry and multiple-entry options. Business e-Visas do not require an invitation letter or guarantee letter from a Vietnamese company; you only need to fill in the name and address of the company you plan to visit. Applicants can specify their visa start date, allowing flexible applications tailored to business schedules.
Crucial Points for Business Travelers
Passport Validity: Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date of entry. If it has less than 6 months remaining, you risk being denied boarding at Japanese airports.
Port of Entry for e-Visa: The port of entry specified during application cannot be changed. Always verify that it matches the arrival airport on your flight itinerary.
Digital Arrival Card (QR Code): Starting April 15, 2026, all travelers—regardless of visa status—are required to complete the “Digital Arrival Card” registration. Please register on the official website (prearrival.immigration.gov.vn) within 72 hours prior to arrival to obtain your QR code.
Printed Electronic Visa: If you obtain an e-Visa, it is strongly recommended to print it in color on A4 paper and carry it with you. Some airport border controls may not accept digital displays on smartphone screens.
