Many countries have visa exemption arrangements with Japan, allowing short-term stays for tourism or conferences. However, requirements vary depending on your nationality.
We encourage all international attendees to check visa requirements well in advance.
- If you do not require a visa, you may enter Japan for a limited period without applying in advance.
- If you do require a visa, you will need to apply through a Japanese consulate or embassy in your country.
Accepted authors will receive an abstract acceptance email that will contain a link to download their letter of invitation (aka VISA Letter). Please refer to your abstract acceptance email notification for that link. For all other registrants, you will be able to request a Letter of Invitation during the Registration process. It will be emailed to you within 48 business hours.
