Vietnam Visa for Japan
Japanese citizens enjoy visa exemption for up to 45 days when entering Vietnam for tourism or business. However, if you plan to stay longer than 45 days, or you need multiple entries, you are required to obtain a valid Vietnam visa in advance.
To make the process easier, Seniworld offers reliable Vietnam visa services tailored for Japanese travelers — including application guidance, document checking, express service, and transparent pricing.
