Romania→Japan
Romania to Japan
How long can I stay, and can I extend it?
Romanian citizens may stay in Japan for up to 90 days without a visa. Stays longer than 90 days require obtaining a visa.
There is an embassy or consulate of Japan in Romania, so visa applications can be handled there if you need one before travel.
What should I do before I travel?
Before you travel, check that your ordinary Romanian passport is valid for at least six months beyond your planned date of entry to Japan.
No visa is required for tourist stays of up to 90 days; if you plan to stay longer than 90 days arrange the appropriate visa before travel. Carry proof of sufficient funds for your stay because you may be asked to show it at the border.
Purchase travel insurance if you wish: it is recommended but not required for entry.
What happens at the border?
On arrival you present your passport. Japanese border officials may ask to see proof of sufficient funds to cover your stay. There is no requirement for an arrival registration or entry card for this route.
