Japan eVisa for Bangladesh Citizens

Japan is the place of dreams of many people and the citizens of Bangladesh are even closer to the dream of seeing the neon lights of Tokyo or the old temples of Kyoto. The digital transformation in 2025 has rendered the Japan eVisa as one of the most favored options by people who seek an advanced means of obtaining a travel permit.

If you are planning a trip from Dhaka or anywhere in Bangladesh, this guide covers every detail you need for a smooth and successful Japan eVisa application for Bangladesh.

Is the eVisa available for all Bangladesh Passport holders?

The eVisa is offered to the regular Bangladeshi passport holders. In case you are a tourist, then you can use the digital system. But in case you are coming to visit my country on the basis of business, work, or visiting a relative, you will still be required to get a traditional sticker visa at the Embassy of Japan in Dhaka.

Does Passport Type Matter for the eVisa?

Yes. Currently, the Japan e Visa can only serve the holders of Ordinary Passports. In case you have a Diplomatic or an official passport, you will have to go through conventional avenues via the Japanese Embassy in Dhaka. Also, make sure that your passport is valid with no less than 6 months left to your own date of entry.

What are the Document Requirements for the Application?

In order to have your application passed by the authorities of Japan, you should be ready with the following documents required for Japan Visa:

• Valid Passport: Should contain a minimum of 6 months of validity.
• Digital Photo: A high quality passport size picture with a white background.
• Evidence of Residency: Your Bangladeshi National ID (NID) or residential evidence.
• Financial Documents: Bank statements of the last 6 months (or less) confirmed that they have enough money to cover the trip.
• Travel Itinerary: Flight tickets and names of hotels where you would be staying are confirmed.

What are the Strict Photo Requirements?

Japan is quite fastidious with the quality of photos. To prevent rejection the standards are to follow:

• Size: 45mm x 45mm (square).
• Background: White (no shades or patterns).
• Recency: The recency should not be older than 6 months.
• Body Language: Free upper limbs, eyes are open and no head covering (except religious reasons).
• Quality: It is of high resolution with no visible pixels or selfie angles.

Can I apply for a Minor’s Visa online?

Yes, minors can apply for a Japan eVisa. However, the application must be submitted by a parent or legal guardian.

• Required for Minors: A copy of the Birth Certificate and a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from their school.
• Consent: If a minor is traveling with only one parent, a consent letter from the other parent may be requested.

 How do I handle Currency Exchange in Japan?

The local currency is the Japanese Yen (JPY).

• Cash is King: While major cities accept cards, many small shops, temples, and local eateries only take cash.
• Where to Exchange: It is best to exchange your BDT to USD or Euro before leaving Dhaka, then exchange those for Yen at Japanese airports or 7-Eleven ATMs, which offer excellent rates.

Is Working Allowed on a Japan Tourist eVisa?

Absolutely not. The eVisa is strictly for tourism, visiting friends, or attending unpaid meetings. Engaging in any paid work, "dark" employment, or even long-term internships is illegal and can lead to deportation and a long-term ban from entering Japan.

What are the Hotel Stay Rules for Tourists?

When checking into any hotel in Japan, the law requires all foreign guests to:

• Show Passport: The hotel must take a photocopy of your passport and eVisa.
• Check-in Time: Most hotels have a strict 3:00 PM check-in and 10:00 AM or 11:00 AM check-out.
• Quiet Hours: Japanese hotels value silence; keep noise levels low in hallways and rooms.

Navigation: Taxis and Transport Tips

• Trains: The most efficient way to travel. Get an IC Card (like Suica or Pasmo) to tap-and-go on all trains and buses.
• Taxis: Very clean but expensive. Note that taxi doors in Japan open and close automatically—do not try to pull them yourself!
• Google Maps: This is your best friend for navigating Japan’s complex train stations.
