Transit Visa

This page is for person(s) transiting in Japan.

• Barbados citizens or foreign nationals of Visa Exemption countries and regions are not required to obtain a visa for transit purposes (See "the list of visa exemption countries and regions).
• For nationals of non-visa exemption countries and regions, please contact your airline(s) to confirm whether or not you will go through the Customs and Immigration area at the transferring airport. If you will, then you most likely need a transit visa. If not, then you do not need a transit visa.
• The Embassy may require you to obtain a short-term visa instead of a transit visa depending on your purpose to visit Japan. (You MUST apply for a short-term visit visa if you visit your family or friends in Japan even if your stay is less than 24 hours.)
