Japan relaxes entertainment visa rules, streamlines application process and increases maximum stay, says Immigration Bureau

in immigration news

The Japanese government has initiated a series of measures aimed at facilitating the entry of foreign professional singers and entertainers to partake in concerts, music festivals, and other events within the country.

Commencing in December of the previous year, the government embarked on initiatives to expedite the issuance of a Certificate of Eligibility— an essential document for visa applications—by reducing the processing time by approximately two months. By streamlining immigration procedures, the government seeks to stimulate the involvement of foreign artists in Japan’s entertainment scene, foster international cultural exchanges, and invigorate the nation’s economy.

The Immigration Services Agency, as part of the Justice Ministry ordinances related to visa status, has modified its regulations for the second time since August of the preceding year. The initial amendments in August included relaxation in conditions such as the duration of stay for foreign entertainers, their activity history, and the size of the performance venue in Japan.

The latest revisions, targeted specifically at foreign artists engaged in concerts, music festivals, and similar events, focus on expediting the issuance of Certificates of Eligibility when applications are submitted by agents with a commendable track record. Agents with a clean payment history to artists in the past three years can expect the issuance of the certificate within two to three weeks, as opposed to the previous estimate of one to three months.

In addition to the shortened processing time, the application procedures have been streamlined, eliminating the necessity for certain previously required documents such as floor maps and event venue photos.

Among the adjustments made to visa conditions in the August amendments, the maximum stay for foreign entertainers has been doubled from 15 days to 30 days.

The move to relax these conditions addresses the longstanding challenge faced by many foreign artists attempting to enter Japan, as the stringent requirements for an entertainment visa have been a hindrance. The benefits derived from these eased conditions include enhanced ease in event planning for foreign artists, contributing to a more accessible and vibrant international entertainment landscape in Japan.
