(3) visa application procedures
To apply for a visa to Japan, we must first make clear the purpose of going to Japan. The purpose of going to Japan is different, and the procedure of applying for a visa will change accordingly. However, no matter what the purpose of going to Japan is, applying for a Japanese visa first requires an inviting unit (person) from Japan or a delegation unit from China. If there is a group unit in China, we must strictly follow the requirements of the group unit. If applicants need to go through the visa formalities in person, they need to prepare two parts of materials (Japanese and China). It's best to consult embassies and consulates in China in advance about the requirements of accreditation (see "Country Service" for contact information).
Regarding the specific matters of Japanese visa application, it is recommended to consult the China Embassy and Consulate in Japan.
