Frequently Asked Questions
Can Filipino passport holders stay longer than 30 days in Japan?
The standard visa-free stay is 30 days. Extensions are generally not granted under visa-free entry; you would need to leave and re-enter or apply for a longer-stay visa at a Japanese embassy.
Is Japan visa-free for Filipinos in 2026?
Yes. As of 2026, Filipino citizens can enter Japan without a visa for tourism or short business visits of up to 30 days, subject to immigration officer discretion.
Can I work in Japan on a visa-free entry?
No. Visa-free entry is strictly for tourism, transit, or short business meetings. Working in Japan requires the appropriate work visa obtained before arrival.
