Tourist visa to Japan in Malta together with Visa Agency

The process of obtaining a tourist visa to Japan in Malta is characterised by strict standards and thorough verification of each application by the consulate. That is why it is necessary to prepare a complete package of documents in advance, confirm the legal status of stay in this island state and convincingly substantiate the travel itinerary. How to do this correctly and why it is worth seeking help from accredited visa agencies — this is exactly what we will talk about in our material today.

For what purposes is a tourist visa to Japan intended?

A tourist visa to Japan in Malta is issued exclusively for short-term trips that are not related to work or commercial activity. It is suitable for:

• classic tourism and excursions;

• visiting cultural events;

• short trips for holidays;

• trips to friends who are not immediate relatives;

• independent travel or group tours.

At the same time, it is important to understand that a tourist visa does not give the right to employment, study or doing business on the territory of Japan.

Who can obtain a tourist visa to Japan in Malta?

The following can submit documents for a tourist visa to Japan through Malta:

• citizens of any countries who legally reside on the territory of this island state;

• holders of temporary or permanent residence permits;

• applicants staying in Malta on long-term grounds (work, study, business).

Travellers staying on the island on a short-term tourist visa, as a rule, cannot submit an application, since the consulate requires confirmation of a stable status of stay.

Where can you obtain a tourist visa to Japan in Malta?

All applications are considered by the Embassy of Japan in Valletta. Documents can be submitted:

• in person to the consular section;

• through an authorised visa representative;

• through a visa agency accredited to submit documents to diplomatic missions.

Thus, a tourist visa to Japan in Valletta is processed exclusively through the embassy, which makes the correct preparation of documents an especially important procedure.

What documents are needed to apply for a tourist visa to Japan in Malta?

The package of documents for applying for a tourist visa to Japan through Valletta is quite strict and includes:

Basic documents:

1. Foreign passport (valid for at least 6 months after the end of the trip).

2. Copy of the passport’s bio page.

3. Completed visa application form.

4. Recent photograph 4.5 × 4.5 cm.

5. Proof of legal residence status in Malta (eResidence Card).

Documents confirming the purpose of the trip:

• Detailed travel plan and itinerary (Schedule of Stay);

• hotel booking or invitation from the hosting party;

• tickets or proof of flight booking.

Financial documents:

• bank statement for 3–6 months;

• income certificate or proof of stable earnings;

• proof of sponsorship (if any).

Additionally, the following may be required:

• letter of guarantee from the inviting person;

• explanatory letter if the itinerary is non-standard or includes several countries;

• documents on marital/family status (for joint trips).

A properly formed set of documents is of decisive importance, since the Japanese consular authorities carefully assess the applicant’s financial solvency and the justification of their itinerary.

Submission procedure and processing

The procedure for submitting and reviewing a tourist visa to Japan in Malta follows clearly established rules, including:

1. Preparation of a complete package of documents. All forms must be filled in correctly and without corrections.

2. Submission of the application to the Embassy of Japan in Valletta. Submission is carried out by prior appointment.

3. Payment of the consular fee (if no exemption is provided).

4. Processing. Usually the procedure takes 5–10 working days, but in some periods the time may increase.

Cost and validity period of a tourist visa

1. The cost of a visa depends on the applicant’s citizenship as well as the type of visa (single-entry or multiple-entry). On average, the consular fee ranges from 20 to 35 EUR.

2. Visa validity period — usually 90 days from the date of issue.

3. Allowed period of stay — 15 or 30 days (depending on the consulate’s decision).

The consulate may issue both a single-entry and a multiple-entry tourist visa to Japan in Malta if the applicant meets certain criteria.

Main reasons for refusal

Most often, a refusal for a tourist visa to Japan in Valletta is connected with:

• insufficient financial evidence;

• incomplete documents;

• suspicion that the declared purpose of the trip does not correspond to the real one;

• incorrect or inconsistent explanations of the itinerary;

• lack of logical connection between the travel plan and the financial situation;

• previous violations of visa rules of other countries.

According to the official rules of the Japanese consulate, in case of refusal a repeated application for a tourist visa is possible only after 6 months.
