    Japan Business Visa (Temporary Visitor)

    Short-term business trips: meetings, events, conferences (no paid work).

    About this visa

    Temporary Visitor (Business) is used for short-term business activities such as meetings, negotiations, conferences, exhibitions, and market visits. It is not for paid work in Japan.

    Your documents should answer: who you are meeting, why this trip is necessary, the exact schedule, and who pays for the trip. If you have an inviting company/partner, invitation letters and company documents strengthen clarity.

    If your trip is purely tourism/visiting, use the short-stay page: Japan short-stay visa. For document planning support, see GetVisa.ge services.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Do Georgian citizens need a short-stay visa for Japan?

    Yes. Short-term stay requirements depend on purpose and the Japanese mission with jurisdiction.

    Can I work on a Temporary Visitor visa?

    No. Temporary Visitor is for tourism/business/visiting without remunerative activities.

    Do I need an invitation letter?

    It depends. For visiting/business purposes invitation/guarantor/company documents may be required or helpful.

    Is Japan eVISA available for Georgians?

    If you reside in Georgia, no—Japan eVISA is only for residents of specific countries/regions. In that case, you typically apply via the Japanese Embassy/Consulate with jurisdiction over your residence. If you legally reside in an eligible country/region, online application may be possible.
