Damaged passport travelling to Japan

Upvote:3

I called the consulate and she said if your visa and information page are alright then you are good to go. But if you still want to renew your passport then you have to stamp the visa on new passport as well.

Generally: you're allowed entry on your new passport with a valid visa in the old passport.

You can also have your visa transferred to the new passport on the Japanese consulate, but you're not required to.

Q: Since my passport with a valid Japanese visa has expired, I have obtained a new passport. Would it be possible for me to use the Japanese visa which is in the expired passport when I undergo an immigration inspection at the airport?

A: You can show both the new passport and the old passport with the visa at border control. Alternatively, a visa transfer service is also available at our office.
