Important Notes

Iranian citizens require a standard visa to enter Japan for any purpose, including tourism, business, study, or work. The application process is generally considered stringent due to the comprehensive documentation required and the need for a Certificate of Eligibility (CoE) for most long-term visas. Visa fees are typically paid upon collection of the visa, and the exact amount can vary. Processing time is not fixed and depends on the completeness of the application and the embassy's workload. It is highly recommended to contact the Embassy of Japan in Tehran directly for the most current requirements, fees, and processing times, as these can change without prior notice. The 'difficulty' is marked as 'hard' due to the extensive documentation and strict requirements.
