A family of four recently secured a 5-year multiple-entry visa (MEV) to Japan through a smooth and efficient process via VFS Delhi, offering a helpful guide for others hoping to travel to Japan.
The applicant shared their complete visa timeline, which began with a walk-in appointment at the VFS Delhi centre on May 30. Their application was forwarded to the Embassy of Japan on June 2 and remained under process until June 6. The passport, stamped with a 5-year MEV, was sent to the Visa Operation Centre and collected on June 9 — making the total processing time just six working days.
The visa approval covered all four family members, each of whom already held three previous Schengen visas. This prior travel history likely strengthened the MEV application.
To support their application, the applicant submitted a comprehensive set of documents including:
- Copies of all passports
- Confirmed and partially refundable flight tickets with Cathay Pacific Airways
- A filled visa application form
- Day-wise travel itinerary
- Hotel bookings via Booking.com
- A detailed cover letter requesting a 5-year MEV
- Recent bank statements
- Certificate of incorporation of the applicant’s company
- Sponsorship letter, along with the sponsor’s passport and income tax returns
This successful case has since circulated on travel forums and social media, offering clarity to those unsure about Japan visa requirements. The applicant also encouraged others to reach out for help, saying, “Hope this helps others applying for a Japan visa! Feel free to ask if you’ve got questions.”
