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.
