Japan is an island nation in South Asia which is frequently visited by tourists and also by individuals on business trips. Since January 1, 2018, Indian citizens have been allowed to travel to Japan on a multi-entry Japan visa with a short-term stay. Indian citizens, who have travelled to Japan more than once, in the past year, have the option of availing the 5 years multi-entry visa to the country issued by the embassy with a maximum stay of 90 days in Japan.
