✅ Who Needs a Visa?

✅ All Philippine passport holders

❌ Visa-free entry is not yet available for regular tourists

🎯 But don’t worry — thousands of Filipinos are approved every year!

✨ Why This Matters

Japan is open — but embassies now have stricter screening for Filipino travelers.
If your documents are honest and complete, approval is still very possible. This guide walks you through everything you need to prepare.

📋 Multiple-Entry Visa for First-Time Travelers (No Past Japan Visits)

Yes, you can apply even if you’ve never been to Japan — as long as you meet the Embassy’s financial and eligibility requirements.

✅ You may qualify if:

• You are applying for tourism on your own expense (not sponsored)
• You have strong financial capacity
  (suggested: ₱250,000+ annual income OR ₱500,000+ bank savings)
• You have traveled to other G7 countries (e.g., USA, Canada, UK, etc.)

📌 Please note: The Japan Embassy may still issue a single-entry visa at their discretion.

📋 Multiple-Entry Visa for Those Who Have Traveled to Japan Before

If you’ve been to Japan at least once in the last 3 years, you are more likely to be approved for a multiple-entry visa — especially if you were previously issued a Japan visa with no overstays or violations.

✅ You’re a strong candidate if:

• You had a previous Japan visa and followed all rules
• You are applying for personal tourism, not sponsored
• You have a stable job or registered business
• You can show financial capability to travel regularly
  
  📄 Additional Requirements:

📌 The Embassy may grant a 1-, 3-, or 5-year multiple visa depending on your background and travel intent.
