Japan Visa Processing Time
Normally, Japan Visa Processing Time is 5 working days if all the requirements are met. However, there are certain cases which require referral to the government office in Japan. Such referral cases may take up to 2 months for results.
In the Philippines, the normal processing time is 3 to 5 days working days from the day after the date of the acceptance of the application.
In Vietnam and some other ASEAN countries, 5 to 7 days is the normal process.
If any kind of checking is required (the submission of additional documents, an interview with the applicant, inquiries, etc.), or if a visa application is made for the purpose of a long-term stay without a Certificate of Eligibility, etc., the progress may take longer than five working days (from several weeks to several months). Therefore, it is recommended that you make the application months before the scheduled date of departure.
