Applying A Visa To Japan

It's less of a hassle trying top re-mortgage my house than getting a visa to Japan. o.O

I guess it's our fault the visa process is getting harder and harder. Who asked us Malaysians to "jump aeroplane" to Japan anyway? :(

Anyhoo, these are the documents needed for a visa application:

1. Original passport

2. One (1) visa application form

3. One (1) photo (4.5cm x 4.5cm) with white background which is taken within 6 month from the visa application and must be pasted on the application form

4. Itinerary in Japan and for transit purpose, copy of visa to the main destination (USA, CANADA, etc)

5. Employment certificate stating your position, department in the company and length of service(using the company letterhead)

*If you are a sole proprietor/partner/owner of the company, you need to submit a copy of your business registration

*For those who are not working: a self explanatory letter stating how expenses will be borne, name and relationship of person(s) accompanying (if any)

6. Personal savings, latest current account statement, fixed deposit, Tabung Haji or Amanah Saham Berhad (ASB) (original certified true copy by the bank) (need to show the applicant’s name as the account owner, account number and current balance)

7. Copy of marriage certificate (spouse) or birth certificate (children) to show proof of relationship between the main applicant and the person(s) accompanying

NOTES

1. Please arrange all the documents according to the sequence. Documents submitted will not be returned.

2. All photocopies must be on A4 size paper.

3. Collection of passport will be three (3) working days for Malaysian (subject to approval).

*THE EMBASSY OF JAPAN HAS THE RIGHT TO REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS OR CALL THE APPLICANT FOR AN INTERVIEW*

For those planning to visit Japan, make sure you have at least RM6,000.00 in your bank account in order to be granted a visa! Children are also not exempted from this so if you are planning to bring your child there, make sure you have enough $$$ in your bank account to cover for yourself and children.
