Q1: Can I enter Japan if the validity of my passport is less than 6 months? Can I board the aircraft (or cruise ship)?
A1: Please note that the Government of Japan requires a foreign national or citizen of the countries & territories with visa exemption, e.g. Hong Kong Special Administrative Region passport, Macau Special Administrative Region passport, British National Overseas passport with the right of residence in Hong Kong etc., to present a valid passport when entering and departing from Japan. There is not a “six months’ validity requirement” for foreign passports. However, please note that the Hong Kong Document of Identity (HKDI) or Macau Travel Permit must have at least 6 months’ validity at the time of submitting the visa application. Please confirm with the airline or cruise company whether they allow foreigners to check in and board.
Please note that many countries require 3 to 6 months of passport validity at time of travel. It is your responsibility to check this requirement for all members of your party.
