Visiting Japan (VISAs)

[pika la]

This summer I'm going to Japan for 2-4 weeks. I'm from Canada/age 16.

Do I need a type of VISA to go, be allowed to stay this length of time? I remember we needed a VISA when we went to Hong Kong for 10 days...

If so, what type, and how to get one?

What other Official Documents would I need to bring? Birth Certificate? Passport (I have one)? What else?

Soo... I DONT need one?

No, you don't need one if you're staying for less than 90 days.

Don't forget to prepare for application of a long-term visa when you are entering Japan to stay.

Have a great time! Make sure you pack some cool clothes, it's going to be hot and humid (possibly rainy) at that time. I would recommend cotton t-shirts and shorts (cargo shorts are very useful).
