Visa Application
You'll need to check
the list of the countries that have the visa exemption
agreement with Japan. If your country is included in the list,
then you will not be required for a visa when entering Japan
under normal circumstances.
If your country is not included in the list, you'll need to
obtain a short-term stay visa from the embassy of Japan in your
country.
Please read the Japanese visa guide provided by the ministry of
foreign affairs carefully. And be informed that it is the
embassy of Japan in your country that makes a decision on
issuing a visa. Whether the attendees need Letter of Invitation
fully depends on the relations between countries. The conference
organizers hereby reiterate that we are neither able to nor
authorized to decide the relations between countries.
Letter of Invitation is an official document which confirms a
registration payment and extends an official invitation to the
paid registrant to attend and participate in the upcoming
conference. It provides you with an official reason to come to
Japan. It may be required for visa application if you are from a
country that does not have a visa exemption agreement with
Japan.
In order to qualify for a Letter of Invitation, you must meet
both of the following criteria:
1. Be a registered author of an accepted full paper or abstract
2. Have paid the conference registration fee.
Letter of Guarantee is a letter in which an individual or body
agrees to be legally and financially responsible for you during
your stay in Japan. You may know a willing individual or
institution in Japan who is willing to act as a guarantor, or,
if you have no connection with the country, the Japanese
Ministry of Foreign Affairs may find that it is acceptable to
have your university act as the guarantor. Kindly note that the
conference organizer cannot provide Letters of Guarantee.
