Iceland passport Japan

Do Icelanders need a visa for Japan?

No visa needed.

Visa free 90d

You can board a flight to Japan on a passport from Iceland with no visa. You may stay up to 90 days per visit. Immigration will still want to see a return ticket, somewhere to stay, and enough money for the trip.

Status

Nothing to pay
Typical decision
No application

There is nothing to apply for and nothing to pay.

Book your flight. Any site offering to sell you a Japan visa, permit or "travel authorisation" for this trip is selling you something you do not need.

If you are travelling on a different passport, Japan's official entry rules are at mofa.go.jp.

Worth knowing

  • Japan charges the visa fee only if the visa is issued. An approved agency adds its own handling fee.
  • Visa fees rose on 1 July 2026. Older figures you see online are out of date.
  • Depending on your nationality and purpose, the fee may be waived or differ from the standard amount.
