A Japan Visit Visa, officially called a Temporary Visitor Visa, allows foreigners to enter Japan for short stays such as tourism, visiting family or friends, attending conferences, or other non-work purposes. It does not permit employment or income-generating activities. Canadian passport holders are visa-exempt for short stays of up to 90 days, meaning they do not need to apply for a visa in advance. However, non-Canadian residents in Canada, or those planning to stay longer or for purposes beyond tourism, will need to apply for a visa through the Japanese Embassy or Consulates in Canada.
