- A visa exemption arrangement exists between Japan and Malaysia such that nationals of Malaysia who meet relevant conditions may enter Japan without obtaining a visa for a period of not exceeding three consecutive months (short-term stay). Nevertheless, since 1993, based on a consideration of the state of affairs at the time, the Government of Japan began to encourage that nationals of Malaysia obtain a visa in advance to enter Japan.
- However, in celebration of the 40th Year of ASEAN-Japan Friendship
and Cooperation, the Government of Japan has decided that from July 1,
nationals of Malaysia in possession of ordinary IC passports meeting
ICAO standards (with ICAO’s IC passport symbol on the front cover) who
wish to enter Japan for short-term stay will no longer be encouraged to
obtain a visa as noted above and will be able to visit Japan without
one. In making this decision, Japan is effectively restarting the
measures to offer visa exemptions for nationals of Malaysia with the
intention of entering Japan for short-term stay. The further development
of Japan-Malaysia exchange is expected as a result of the restart of
the visa exemption, including increases in the number of tourists from
Malaysia who visit Japan and the enhancement of the ease of business
transactions between the two countries.
Regardless of the above, the restart of visa exemptions shall apply only to those with an ordinary IC passport in compliance with ICAO standards as mentioned above. Nationals of Malaysia who do not hold an ordinary IC passport in compliance with ICAO standards continue to be encouraged to obtain a visa.
