## Documents required
- Passport valid for the duration of the intended stay
- Completed and signed visa application form
- One recent photograph, 45 × 45 mm, taken within 6 months
- Flight itinerary covering entry to and departure from Japan
- Schedule of stay, listing accommodation and activities day by day
- Proof of sufficient funds, such as recent bank statements
- Certificate of employment, or proof of student status
- Documents from a guarantor or inviting party in Japan, where one is involved

## Notes
All visitors are fingerprinted upon entry. Holders of Lebanese passports who reside in the following 11 countries (Brazil, Cambodia, Canada, Mongolia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Africa, Taiwan, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, and the United States) can apply and obtain an electronic visa (e-Visa). The duration of stay for these countries is up to 90 days.

## Can this stay be extended from inside the country?
- Possible inside: **limited**
- Must leave the country: **yes**
- Cost: ¥10,000

Temporary Visitor status is not extendable for continued sightseeing — Japanese immigration law treats that as impermissible. Extensions are granted only where an unavoidable circumstance physically prevents departure, such as a medical emergency or a natural disaster, and require documentary proof.

**Cost detail.** From 1 October 2026 the flat ¥6,000 fee (¥5,500 online) is replaced by a tiered schedule based on the period granted: ¥10,000 for up to 3 months, rising to ¥75,000 for five years or more. The fee is fixed by the date the application is accepted, so filing before 1 October keeps the old rate.

**How.** Apply for Permission for Extension of Period of Stay at the Regional Immigration Services Bureau covering your address, well before the date stamped in your passport.

**If you cannot extend.** Where an extension is not available, the only lawful course is to leave before your permitted stay ends and apply again from outside Japan.
