VISA

Nationals from certain countries will require a visa to enter Japan. Details can be found on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan website at http://www.mofa.go.jp/j_info/visit/visa/index.html.

You are advised to check the information about your VISA at Japanese Embassies or Consulates in your residential territory, which can be found at http://www.mofa.go.jp/about/emb_cons/over/index.html.

You will need a formal invitation letter from the conference. In order to request this, please download to use the following request_form.doc. After completing the form, please send us by email on qfs-visa@qfs2013.riken.jp together with a scanned copy of your passport. Recent experience has shown that it can take several months to get a visa, especially if there is some problem or mistake in the application.

Although email is the preferred method of contact, alternatively you may write/telephone/fax to the conference secretariat.
