Visiting Japan: Chadian citizen → Japan
You need a visa (Temporary Visitor)
Chad passport holders need a Temporary Visitor visa to visit Japan for a short stay — apply at the Japanese embassy/consulate (or an accredited agency) with jurisdiction over where you live, or online via the JAPAN eVISA system where eligible.
The bottom line
- A Short-Term Stay is up to 90 days for tourism, business or visiting friends/relatives, with no paid work.
- Where eligible, you can apply online for a tourism eVISA via the JAPAN eVISA system instead of a sticker visa.
- Some nationalities are visa-exempt only with an ICAO-compliant ePassport — confirm your exact requirement on MOFA.
