PASSPORTS

– Please remember to take note of the expiry date of your passport. For most countries, you are unable to travel 6-months prior to the expiration date of your passport.

– It is highly recommended that you scan the first page of your passport containing your bio as well as your Japanese visa. Please e-mail it to yourself or to a close friend or relative. Doing this helps expedite the process of getting a new passport should you lose your document.

LOST PASSPORTS

If you lose your passport, you will need to do the following immediately:
