You can board a flight to Japan on a passport from Switzerland 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.

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 Older figures you see online are out of date.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.
