Japan Visa for
Pakistani Nationals

Yes. Japan's consulate requires original wet-signature and company-stamped NOC letters for employment, sponsorship, and financial undertaking documents. Scanned or electronically generated copies are only accepted if they explicitly state 'Electronically Generated' on the letter itself.

Standard applicants need 3 months of personal or company bank e-statements, not older than 10 days from the application date. Russian, CIS, Ukrainian, and Georgian nationals are required to submit 6 months of statements for multiple-entry visas.

There is no official minimum stated by the consulate, but we generally recommend a closing balance that comfortably covers your flight, hotel, and daily expenses for the full trip duration — our consultants review your statement and advise before submission.

The Japanese consulate does not charge a visa fee for most applicants applying through VFS Dubai or the Abu Dhabi embassy. Oki Doki charges a separate service fee for document preparation, form completion, and appointment handling — this is listed transparently in our pricing section.

A confirmed hotel booking with full property, contact, and applicant details is required. Flights can be submitted as provisional or confirmed reservations for visa purposes — you do not need to purchase non-refundable tickets before approval.

Standard processing takes from 8 working days after submission at VFS Global or the embassy, though this can vary by season and applicant profile. We recommend applying at least 3–4 weeks before your travel date.

Multiple-entry visas are available to eligible UAE residents who meet income and travel-history criteria, and are evaluated case by case by the consulate. We assess your profile during the free consultation and advise if you qualify.

A copy of your Emirates ID is submitted with the application, but the original must be presented in person at the Visa Centre for identity verification at the time of biometric/document submission.

Yes, an NOC or company covering letter is mandatory for employed and business-visitor applicants. It must state the applicant's position, salary, purpose of travel, and confirm financial undertaking, on official company letterhead with a wet signature and seal.

Photos must be 45×35mm, taken against a plain white background, glued (not stapled) to the application form, and no older than 6 months. Digital selfies, filtered images, or photos with glasses/headwear (unless religious) are not accepted.

No, Japan does not currently offer an eVisa for UAE-based applicants. All applications must be submitted physically with original documents at VFS Global Dubai or the Embassy of Japan in Abu Dhabi.
