Polies may subject to change. Please consult the embassy and local agency for most up-to-date visa application process.
You'll need to check the
list of the countries that have the visa exemption agreement with Japan. If
your country is included in the list, then you will not be required for a visa
when entering Japan under normal circumstances. If your country is not included
in the list, you'll need to obtain a short-term stay visa from the embassy of
Japan in your country.
Please read the
Japanese visa guide provided by the ministry of foreign affairs carefully.
And be informed that it is the embassy of Japan in your country that makes a
decision on issuing a visa. Whether the attendees need Letter of Invitation
fully depends on the relations between countries. The conference organizers
hereby reiterate that we are neither able to nor authorized to decide the
relations between countries.
