Trip To Japan

[RAZZELL]

My wife is in here in the UK and has FLR.

We're thinking about a trip to Tokyo later in the year. As a UK National I don't need a visa.

It seem's my wife does. Looking here:

Are they quite "painless" to get and is there any cost?

Many thanks

I have no first hand experience but I believe it can be a bit tricky for a Thai national to get a visa for Japan, I suspect it might be easier if you are travelling together.

Married, travelling together, accommodation booked etc., should be fine but not so easy on their own unless prior history.

I looked into it a couple of years ago and it seemed relatively painless.

I can't find any information about cost or how long they are valid for? (as in how fare in advance you can you get the visa before you travel - not length of stay)

With respect, OG, the OP and his wife are resident in the UK, so should apply there.

I have no experience nor knowledge of Japanese visas; but imagine that as she is married to a Brit and has leave to remain in the UK that it would be relatively straightforward.

Visa Fees indicate a cost of £22 for a single entry.

We have done several visas to Japan however they will need to apply in the UK .

Sorry Raz, I didn't realise you lived in the UK.
