Q: How long should my passport be valid when visiting Japan?

A: In principle, you will not have any issues as long as you hold a valid passport that covers the duration of your intended stay in Japan at the time of entry.

However, please note that some airlines or transit countries may require your passport to be valid for at least six months beyond your travel dates. We strongly recommend confirming this in advance.
