Japan Visa Services from Thailand | Work, Student & Spouse Visas | V Goal
V Goal Visa Service provides comprehensive Japan visa application support from Bangkok. Thai passport holders enjoy visa-free entry for tourism up to 15 days, but any stay beyond this period requires a visa under the Immigration Control and Refugee Recognition Act. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) issues visas through embassies and consulates, while the Immigration Services Agency (ISA) manages status of residence and issues Certificates of Eligibility (COE). We submit your application through JVAC (Japan Visa Application Centre), operated by VFS Global in Bangkok. Japan has one of the fastest processing times of any country we serve, typically just 5 working days after submission. Our team handles the full process, from COE liaison with your sponsor in Japan through document preparation and JVAC submission in Bangkok.

Contact UsJapan Long-Stay Visa Application Requirements
Under the Immigration Control and Refugee Recognition Act, all foreign nationals staying in Japan beyond the visa-free period must hold a valid visa matching their status of residence. Most long-term categories require a Certificate of Eligibility (COE) issued by the Immigration Services Agency (ISA) before the visa application can be submitted. Incomplete documentation or inconsistencies between the COE and visa application are the most common causes of delay. V Goal Visa Service ensures your application package is complete and consistent from COE coordination through JVAC submission.
Valid Passport
Your passport must be valid for the duration of your intended stay in Japan. Japanese visa requirements do not specify a minimum validity beyond the stay period, but we recommend at least 6 months remaining validity. Your passport must be an ICAO-compliant ePassport (standard for all Thai passports issued since 2013).
Certificate of Eligibility (COE)
Required for most long-term visa categories. The COE is applied for by your sponsor in Japan (employer for work visas, school for student visas, spouse for family visas) through the Immigration Services Agency. Processing takes 1-3 months. The COE is valid for 3 months from issue, and your visa application must be submitted before it expires. V Goal coordinates with your sponsor to ensure the COE application includes proper documentation.
Completed Visa Application Form
The official Japan visa application form must be completed accurately with no errors or omissions. The form requires detailed personal information, travel history, employment details, and information about your sponsor in Japan. We prepare and review your application to ensure every field is correctly filled and consistent with your COE and supporting documents.
Visa Application Photo
One recent color photograph: 45mm x 45mm (square format), white or light gray background, 70-80% face coverage, 32-36mm chin-to-crown distance. Photo must be taken within the last 6 months with a neutral expression, frontal view, and no head coverings (unless for religious reasons). Digital submissions require 600 DPI resolution.
Proof of Financial Capacity
Bank statements or financial documentation demonstrating ability to support yourself during your stay. For work visas, your employment contract showing salary may suffice. For student visas, proof of tuition payment and living expenses (from personal funds or a financial sponsor). For spouse visas, your Japanese spouse's financial documents showing ability to support the household.
Purpose-Specific Documentation
Each visa category requires specific supporting documents. Work visas need the employment contract, company registration, and job description. Student visas require the acceptance letter, enrollment proof, and study plan. Spouse visas need the marriage certificate, your spouse's family register (koseki tohon), and proof of genuine relationship. V Goal prepares the complete document package for your specific category.
Employment or Enrollment Evidence
For work visas: employment contract, company profile, and details of your qualifications matching the job requirements. For student visas: enrollment certificate, course details, and academic transcripts. For spouse/dependent visas: proof of your relationship to the person residing in Japan. Each category has specific evidentiary requirements that must align with your COE.
Travel Itinerary and Accommodation
Details of your travel plans including flight reservations and initial accommodation in Japan. For work and student visas, your sponsor often arranges housing and provides an address. For other categories, hotel bookings or a letter from your host confirming accommodation arrangements.
JVAC Processing Fee
JVAC Thailand charges a processing fee of THB 705 (including VAT) for handling your visa application. Optional courier service for passport return costs THB 520. Note: Japan waives visa fees for ASEAN nationals (including Thai citizens) on certain visa categories, particularly student visas with enrollment proof. Visa fees for other categories are approximately JPY 6,000-10,000 depending on visa type.
Previous Travel History
While not a formal requirement, your travel history can strengthen your application. Previous visits to Japan or other countries demonstrate travel compliance and are viewed favorably. For first-time long-stay applicants, a clear travel history helps establish credibility. We advise on how to present your travel history effectively in the application.
The following requirements apply to long-stay Japan visas (work, student, spouse, dependent, and business categories). Thai nationals visiting Japan for tourism or short business trips up to 15 days do not need a visa. For marriage visa services and partner visas involving Japan, additional requirements apply.
We submit your application through JVAC Thailand (operated by VFS Global), with the main office in Bangkok and regional intake centers in Chiang Mai, Phuket, Khon Kaen, and other cities.
Important Note
These services are for Thailand residents traveling to other countries, not for obtaining Thai visas.
