Japan e-Visa for Nepali Citizens – Complete Online Application Process Explained

Japan e-Visa for Nepali Citizens – Complete Online Application Process Explained

Traveling to Japan from Nepal has become more convenient than ever with the introduction of the Japan e-Visa system, which allows applicants to complete the process entirely online. For Nepali citizens, this system simplifies what was once a lengthy and paper-based process, making it faster, more transparent, and accessible from anywhere. The e-Visa is mainly designed for short-term visitors or tourists (Temporary Visitor – Single Entry), allowing them to explore Japan for leisure, sightseeing, visiting friends, or short business purposes.

As of 2025, Nepali travelers must apply for their Japan e-Visa through the official website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan (MOFA) or via the VFS Global Japan Visa Application Centre in Kathmandu. Applicants need a valid passport (minimum six months’ validity), a recent color passport-sized photograph (4.5 cm x 3.5 cm), a detailed travel itinerary, flight and hotel bookings, and a bank statement for the last 3 to 6 months showing sufficient funds to cover their trip. The visa fee for Nepali citizens is approximately NPR 2,680, as listed by VFS Global Nepal, though this amount may vary slightly due to exchange rate changes.

The application process begins by registering an account at www.evisa.mofa.go.jp or contacting the VFS Global Centre. Applicants fill out the online form, upload scanned documents (passport, photo, and travel details), and submit the application electronically. After submission, the payment can be made online or at the VFS Centre. Once submitted, the average processing time is 5 to 7 working days, depending on document accuracy and verification. Upon approval, applicants will receive a digital e-Visa confirmation, which they can print or display electronically when boarding a flight and upon arrival in Japan.

The Japan e-Visa allows visitors to stay in Japan for up to 90 days, and it must be used within three months of issuance. The visa is typically single-entry, suitable for tourists who plan a short visit. However, all travelers are advised to apply at least 15 days before departure to ensure sufficient processing time. Any incomplete or mismatched information (such as inconsistent travel dates or incorrect photo size) may delay or reject the application.
