Travel/Visa
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.
