Starting Monday, Saudi citizens and foreign residents in Saudi Arabia can apply to obtain an electronic tourist visa to Japan, the Asian country’s embassy in Riyadh has said.
All nationals who reside in Saudi Arabia are able to apply for a tourist visa online (single entry visa for a stay up to 90 days), the embassy said in a statement. The visa is valid for three months from the date of issuance.
The visa application can be submitted through the JAPAN eVISA website to receive the electronic visa, “Visa Issuance Notice”, the mission added in a statement.
