Navigating Visa Requirements for Your Visit to Tokyo
As you prepare to attend the World Conference on Dentistry and Oral Health (WCDOH-2026) in Tokyo, Japan, it is important to understand the visa requirements to ensure a smooth and hassle-free journey.
Tourist Visa:
Japan offers visa-free entry to citizens of many countries for short-term stays (typically up to 90 days) for tourism or business purposes. Visa policies vary by nationality, so we strongly recommend checking the official website of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs to confirm whether you require a visa.
Business Visa:
Participation in WCDOH-2026 is considered a business-related visit. If your nationality requires a visa, you may need to apply for a short-term business visa. Supporting documents usually include an official invitation letter from the conference organizers, along with standard visa application materials.
Invitation Letter Process:
Registered participants may request an official invitation letter from the organizing committee. Invitation letters will be issued only after successful registration and upon specific request during or after the registration process.
Please note: While the organizing committee can provide an invitation letter, visa approval is solely at the discretion of the Japanese Embassy or Consulate.
Plan Ahead:
Visa processing times vary depending on your country of residence. We strongly advise applicants to apply well in advance and consult their nearest Japanese Embassy or Consulate for detailed requirements and timelines.
