🇯🇵Japan Visa
Turkish travelers on an ordinary (burgundy) passport need a visa for Japan, there's no visa-free entry or visa on arrival. So if Tokyo's neon backstreets or its temples are on your list, sort out the application before you fly.
Ordinary (Burgundy)
İyi haber: Türk vatandaşları Japonya'ya 90 güne kadar VİZESİZ girer (2011'den beri karşılıklı muafiyet). Tek şart, pasaportunun ICAO standardında makine-okunur/çipli olması. 90 günü aşan ya da çalışma amaçlı ziyaretlerde önceden konsolosluk vizesi gerekir.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I visit Japan without a visa?
Not on an ordinary passport, Japan requires Turkish citizens to hold a visa even for short tourist trips. Holders of official (green), service (grey) and diplomatic (black) passports, however, can enter visa-free for up to 90 days.
How do I apply for a Japan visa?
Applications go through Japan's diplomatic mission in Turkey. Check the official application page (https://www.tr.emb-japan.go.jp/itpr_tr/visa_b.html) for the current document list and procedure. Appointment and processing times shift with demand, so confirm your dates there before booking anything.
Which passports get into Japan visa-free?
Green, grey and diplomatic passport holders can enter Japan visa-free for up to 90 days. The ordinary burgundy passport isn't covered, so it still needs a visa.
