The electronic visa is strictly valid for international air travel arriving at designated Japanese airports.
The eVisa is valid for 90 days from the date of issue. Indian travelers can stay continuously for up to 90 days as authorized.
Holders of a tourist eVisa cannot undertake any paid employment, corporate internships, or commercial operations in Japan.
Your Indian passport must have at least 6 months of validity remaining beyond your intended entry date into Japan. See full passport rules for Japan eVisa.
